What an answer to prayer, Barb and Dave safely arrived in Chiba, Japan! Praise Him! They are of course jet lagged, and therefore taking advantage of the "land of the rising sun" as they wake super early at 3 and 4 in the morning.
Barb shared with me a beautiful excerpt from her quiet time this morning. You will definitely want to read this encouraging letter from Barb to the Lord!
"Let me never forget why we’re here: to glorify the King and serve Him and His people in His Kingdom. Shout, proclaim, whisper, sing, teach the Good News in English or faltering Japanese...just get the Good News out! Preach it to the unsaved, preach it to the saved, preach it to myself. Love it, run in it, live out of it, dive into it, swim around in it, dwell deep in it. Breathe it in, breathe it out. Meditate on His words, His ways. Know Him, make Him known; talk to Him unceasingly, experience His presence. Point to Him; gaze at Him, abide in Him, live out of Him, preach Him, not myself, not religion...CHRIST JESUS. To the King! To the Kingdom! To the Restoration!
This is not just for missionaries in foreign lands! It's for EVERY CHILD of His, wherever we live! The geography doesn't matter! Let us live for the King because we love Him...and we love Him because He first loved us. Wow. What a life! Thank You, Lord."
Don't you love her heart for missions and the Kingdom? May this be an encouragement to you today. Please continue praying! I know she misses all of you so much!
