The last month has been richly blessed to say the least.
Our team has been doing 7-10 teachings per week for the last 4 weeks in Indonesia, and God has been in each one. Before we left for the villages we prayed as a team and asked God what He wanted to do in the people of Indonesia through us. We all felt that He was calling us to teach on His love and passion for us, and He would AWAKEN them with a new love for Him, and AWAKEN them with a new desire to preach the good news of Jesus to others.
That is just what has happened. There have been well over 30 people (we stopped counting) who spoke with there mouth that Jesus is Lord, and decided to follow Him for the first time.
There have been many who have asked for prayer, who have felt that God has called them to something big, but they were afraid to step out into His calling because they didn't think they could do it. Through the teachings and ministry times they decided to obey and follow His calling no matter the size.
God has also been working conviction in hearts as we enter villages. 6 people came to us and asked if we could burn their idols and charms from the witch doctor, which gave them healing power, supper strength, and different supper natural abilities, wich worked. They wanted to follow Jesus, and give up everything that hinders them from fully walking with Him.
The theme of how God has used us in this first month has been to AWAKEN the Church with a new love, passion, desire for Him, and to walk in obedience with Him. God has also used us to Awaken non believers to the knowledge of Him, and with a desire to follow Him with all their hearts.
Calla and I have let two students take leadership. As they go into the villages we have stayed back in Pontianak and will meet up with them in a week.
We greatly appreciate all your prayers.
Please pray for:
- Health. Our team has had a lot of sickness going around.
- Ministry. that God would continue to lead and guide us.
- That our team would continue to see God's perspective in us being here.
- That we would be able to continue to focus on God's will here.
- finances. I am still planing on going to Nepal after the outreach and need $1,000 to go.
Thank you for partnering with me in prayer.
injoy God,
Billy
