Breaks are always nice; this week Rebecca and I are in another city with a couple learning from them. They have been married a year but God is working through both of them here in this city. One thing that I have learned is that alot of people here are night owls. For instance, it is midnight here and the wife is preparing dinner! I think we have been up each night until 2AM since monday when we got here!
We have had many opportunities to talk and the wife shared many things that I know I gleaned from. One thing that she said was "Wherever you go, make it home". That really helped me alot! I think in many cases I have made my home here for 3months. It helps me not miss my family and friends as much.
As I am here I feel like these past few weeks God has been teaching me more than the first few weeks. As I read this morning God showed me a few things. In 1Thessalonians 1:8,9, Paul describes where those who reject God will go after they die. They will be "punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord".
A prayer request for the nations here in North Africa would be that the Word of God would have free course. Pray that more people would be burdened to come and at least see the work that is already being done and the future plans of this work. Pray for the North African believers. There is persecution but God is more than able to overcome that persecution.
Anyways, I just wanted to give a quick update and challenge. Pray that my last week will be effective for the Lords sake!!
