An African Mindset
After our team returned from Africa, they all reiterated how impressed they were with the prayers of the Faith and Charity Church. When they had a need, they prayed for God to meet it. According to the people from ADBC, it was amazing how often God would meet the need.
I believe God is putting our church in just such a place. We have some needs that only God can meet:
- We need the right education pastor. We have looked and looked, but we refuse to settle for a warm body (though it is tempting). Pray that God will send us the right person.
- We see some possibilities that we could take hold of, if God would provide: getting on local cable, if we could buy some extra technical equipment; building a church building in Botswana, if we can raise the money through the Open Door offerring; launching an intern program, if we can supply a stipend and lodging.
- We need God to truly transform some lives - I see people about to wreck and I’m hollering, but only God can make them swerve from their decisions.
So this afternoon, I’m praying that God will provide. It’s up to Him.
