As I was unable to log in las week, I will post my first entry when I get back.
Geez! I can't believe I hafta leave this place in a week. So much has happened.
Again, the times during the Biblestudies have been filled with blessings and altho I had reservations about leading the studies, I've enjoyed them so much.
I've also gotten a chance to share with a few students about my journey as a Christian and have tried to encourage them in what little ways I could. I wish I could fix their lives and make everything easy for them but I know that God is preparing them for things that is beyond their imagination and will reveal His glory through them.
It so clear that God's plan is filled with awesome things as I have noticed that He has often chosen the eldest sibling in the families to come to Christ first. In this way, the Spirit is moving and drawing families, this city-Ulaanbatuur, and these people closer to Him.
I know that we are here for such a short time but I've been soooo encouraged through our times of worship together as one body. Please continue to keep us in prayer.
Prayer requests:
Health- collin needs prayer for eyes that are recovering from infection; cindy and john our leaders are both feelin the beginnings of a cold; and generally, that the rest of us can keep the food in us long enuf to nourish us.
Protection- we've already felt attacks and have been in prayer-- praise God that He is our Victor and Banner over us. But please continue to pray for our protection as this week offers more opportunities to build the body on believers.
Empowerment- I really sense that this is what the students in FCS really need. to know the love of God so deeply and know that they have the power of the Holy Spirit working in them as sons and daughters in Christ to be conquerers in any struggle to all victory and glory. Please pray that God will use us to teach and empower them in whatever way we can.
Thank you soooo much for all the support as I know that I've been blessed by you all.
In His hands,
Eleanor
