Positive home covid test for Jo (assume I have it too) which will curtail our filming day today!

Started last Wednesday so we should be most the way through...

Prayers appreciated by my DingDash family!!

Self isolating til Friday

These are pictures we took at an orphanage we visit to help. Our hearts break as we wipe dirt or dry vomit off their little bodies. Or unleash them from a chain holding them to the wall so they can’t move more than a foot away. Or tend their oozing infections in their mouths, feet or wherever. When I have one of these little ones near me all I feel is love and compassion. To tend them with the most Jesus love possible. We can’t go see them right now because of covid. I hate covid. But when I PRAY, I ASK GOD TO SHEILD THEIR MINDS AND HEARTS and to help them feel HIS LOVE regardless of what humans are doing. And I BELIEVE with ALL MY HEART that God answers and honors these prayers. For HIS heart breaks even more than mine.

So Christians please care! As a church we CAN make a difference. We can adopt. We can support financially. We can help physically. We can pray. We can advocate.

Or We can forget and look away.

My thoughts from China tonight.

Prayer S.O.S
One of our brothers is down with Dengue fever.

In Italy the situation is really unbearable. Without a vaccination passport you can no longer work. As I have already written to you since the first of September I am at home without work. It's sad but it's happening right under our eyes. I have been a believer for twenty years and I can assure you that it is a very hard test. I am also thinking of expatriation but I don't even know where to go. They took our jobs away! Pray again for my wife and me. Let's pray together for Italy. Remember that what is happening now here could happen anywhere because Italy has been chosen as the world leader for the organization of vaccinations. Thanks again. I love you in Jesus Christ.

I was going to post this a few days ago.

Now I'm asking brothers and sisters for urgent prayer for healing. My wife and I have come down with Co**d.
Our symptoms are different one from another and we never thought we could ever get this..
I've been really sick with it for over a week now.
I feel like I should take something (besides just motrin IB and acetaminophen and organic apples, etc.) I've had almost no appetite for a week now. I feel nauseated to put food in my mouth and today it has been harder to breathe, and I've been dizzier.
At least my wife has been able to eat, but she's had a stronger cough for a while. But now the cough is getting me bad and making it harder to breathe.
I welcome prayers, recommendations, etc.
Bless you

Andy B 2 Minute Video, Cycles, Cycling, and Shaving, S4, E19

While out and about on a mountain bike ride, Andy B stopped to rest under a tree.
Ok, so there wasn’t much resting due to the rather unexpected low flying helicopters and Andy’s rather excited enjoyment of them.

But, Andy was struck that he hadn’t showered for a few days, nor shaved. Simply because while he’d kept meaning to, things kept stopping him.

He was waiting until his next mountain bike ride, but when that hadn’t happened for a few days, it was becoming rather obvious that he hadn’t shaved.

And in life there are often consequences to those things that we fail to do. Consequences which, just like Andy B’s beard, demonstrate that something hasn’t happened.

I’ve found myself returning to this article a few times this week. Each time my heart breaks and I feel powerless to bring about change. The one thing I can do is pray!

It’s easier to close our eyes and ears to things that happen in other nations but we have a responsibility to pray as though it is happening on our own doorstep. These girls, children, aren’t protected or even free to choose their own future. Please read…. Please pray….

Something is happening:
Polish government is putting a cash payment limit - a consumer will be able to pay with cash only up to 5000 USD (to a single company).
Another way of controlling the cashflow in society... how soon this will affect the cashflow from Poland to the mission field?

We all the need that someone...to speak into our lives...to give the inspiration we need to keep fighting...to win. I got that in my Mum. #mystory

I was playing with my new diffuser tent recently. I began shooting these guys, with a chessboard as my setting, but then they started cleaning it! I just had to photograph them to show everyone. 😉

“Don’t shine so that others can see you. Shine so that through you, others can see Him.”
~ C. S. Lewis

Visiting brick factory workers (slaves) in Pakistan. Injustice is happening here at an unimaginable scale. Most of the slaves are Christians, but more and more Muslims fall into the trap of lawless debts and finally land in the factories for a lifetime. This is a huge picture with many details. It is also an opportunity to reach Muslim community in the brick factories with the delivering message of the Gospel. We are praying to hear from God, how to address those two needs (need for Gospel and need for social justice) in a practical and effective way.

I sense a strong weariness among the saints of God. Keep up the battle, even if being on our knees is the only thing we can do at times. Ask for wisdom for where you are to put in you efforts and be involved in transforming your community.

And in the meantime, encourage yourself in the Lord. We cannot wait for others to encourage us - though that is wonderful! Remember, you are not alone...Yeshua is your two...and Holy Spirit...and Father!

Galatians 6 says "So let us not grow weary of doing what is good; for if we don’t give up, we will in due time reap the harvest. Therefore, as the opportunity arises, let us do what is good to everyone, and especially to the family of those who are trustingly faithful."

Amen. Glory to God.

If every declared protestant and catholic shared Jesus with onky 3 people each, the whole world would be reach. If just every protestant would share Jesus with only 6 people, the whole world would be reached.
