Welcome to The Good News and thank you to all of my supporters. I would not be boarding a plane in just a day without your prayers and financial contributions. I hope to use The Good News to keep all of you up to pace with my journey to South Africa, and to keep all of our eyes on the Cross of Jesus Christ. Whether I have an amazing interaction and Gospel conversation with a student from Witz University or a day full of rejection, persecution, and second thoughts on why God sent me, the news I report from this mission is always Good. The Good News is mentioned in Mark 1:15 which says, "The time has come," he said, "The kingdom of God is near. Repent and believe the good news!" (NIV) This message is something I pray I cling to...always repenting of the sins that drench my flesh and always believing that Jesus died, resurrected and intercedes for me DAILY.
Three prayer requests I have for my time in South Africa:
1. The hearts of the South Africans will be softened by the Gospel (Ezekiel 36:26-27)
2. I will have a servants heart, ready to give my life away out of an overflow of what Christ has given me (Ephesians 5:1-2)
3. My hope would be in Christ and not my own abilities to relate to the South Africans (Romans 5:3-5)
Again thank you! Can't wait to travel and spend this next 8 weeks walking alongside Christ with all of you :)
Genesis 31:49
Have fun.
ReplyDeleteNatasha I'm so proud of you and Alyssa!! My group and I will be praying for your personal boldness, the people of SA, & your time there!!
ReplyDeleteAs I read your blog I thought of two scriptures: Matthew 17:14-20 my favorite part is verse 20..."I tell you the truth, if you had faith even as small as a mustard seed, you could say to the mountain, 'move from here to there',and it would move. Nothing would be impossible!"
A mustard seed is the smallest particle & it grows into the largest tree!! Showing us that even faith as small or undeveloped as a mustard seed in enough because God's power is BIG!
Romans 1:17 For in it the righteousness of God is revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by FAITH! Dont waste your life going from FAITH to doubt to unbelief and back to FAITH!Ask God to help you go from FAITH to FAITH!
