We got the most wonderful news today about the wood working shop in Kabuga!! The Padens missionaries with World Venture in Goma are selling us their wood working "gear." The building that stands poised, ready for the "guts" for training young men in the trade, will have what it needs to begin!!!! We are praising God for this blessing straight from His hands!!! The cost is half the price of the machinery worth, and it is already fitted for use in Africa........what a blessing.
Tomorrow, Emmanuel and Tamara's last day here, will include a journey to Goma to finalize the plans. I will be accompanying them on this trip!
I think back to September when this shop's foundations were laid out so carefully, prayerfully, and now this news.......well, I feel like dancing for joy before the Lord!!! (This would definitely be the African-way!)
Yesterday for our Bible Foundations class, we covered lesson 2 and 3 as we have two hours for the study. These students have Bible background, some more than others. We are studying about the character of God, His Eternal, Self-existence (He NEEDS NOTHING!) Sovereignty and then we got into the creation of spirit beings, angels. I'm so grateful to the Lord for a little book that I brought from home compiled from scripture......Alban Douglas's 100 Bible Lessons. All the work of gathering the verses has been done, I just present the verses for those students who wish to check out what I say.......you know like the Breanes of Acts 17:10. So we are getting on "rabbit trails".....it's mostly the young boys who have been taught some catholic doctrine. One boy stated he had three guardian angels. I asked if he knew where that was in the Bible.....if he could show me than we would all choose to believe that (maybe we have more per person!) I love the interaction and just the joy of teaching these eager, dear women, the three boys and three younger girls. It's just so wonderfully a joy and honor to have the opportunity!!! Pray for us! I tell them daily that the goal of our learning is not to get big heads, puffed up in pride of that knowledge but that as we continue to learn we would become more and more "fit servants" that will please God, and instruct many many more all for His glory and honor. WHAT AN HONOR!!!!
Thank you! You who are praying for this ministry and all who have had a part in getting me here! May you KNOW GOD"S BLESSING to YOU this day!!!!! Your part in this is not taken for granted!!!!!!Thank you so much!
