God's Child

Rocky just got back from up the river visiting Shuar village of Shakai and there is a husband and wife that have chosen to follow Jesus. Praises to God! This couple have 10 children. There was a flood in !998 and this couple had 5 children that drown in the flood. As Joyce reminded me that God has now restored 2 fold with 10 kiddos!!!

My prayer for these new believers at the moment comes from Ephesians 1:17-20, that the glorious Father may give them the Spirit of wisdom and revelation, so that they may know him better. That the eyes of their hearts may be enlightened in order that they may know the hope to which he has called them, the riches of his glorious inheritance in the saints, and his incomparably great power for those who believe. God's Word says that as believers, we have the same power within us that raised Jesus from the dead and seated Him in His heavenly kingdom. That's kind of a big deal. May we recognize and live in the power He grants us and may they do the same.
