@Susan This place is awesome
Hi Susan,
Greetings in the precious name of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ!
Thank you for your kind words of encouragement sister. We must check our anchor in Him is secure every day, never taking it for granted. Satan our enemy would love to see us slip anchor and drift with this world's current. I love that quote from your Pastor, it is pure gold.
God bless you today sister.
@Susan @Berrybunchfamily Amen to the above!
@Susan super encouraging Thankyou.
I agree - numbers aren't the goal here! I just want people to know that no matter what they are going through, whoever they are, irrespective of what they have done, there is a hope that can overcome all of those things.
Your prayers are very much in line with prayers from another faithful sister!!
I'm overwhelmed by your kind comments, and encouragement.
Thank you
Andy B
@Susan thanks so much. I'll be honest, I'm feeling super excited and super worried all at the same time - will anybody buy it, or like, or read it?
So thrilled to have done this, and got this far. It's definitely something new I've done!!

While I was reading Acts 15 this morning, about Paul’s time in Jerusalem before his second missionary journey, I saw the following: “ They sent Judas called Barsabbas, and Silas, leading men among the brothers, …men who have risked their lives for the name of our Lord Jesus Christ”. The church valued those who had risked their lives for the gospel and recommended them for following missionary journeys. To me, it corresponds to what BTJ missionaries are in this time.
I got a prayer request today originally from a Finnish brother (Risto) about the war in Ukraine. The following is my translation (and I've added those in parentheses):
"The Russian troops have started to deport Ukrainians to Russia from the areas they have conquered. This same thing happened also during the Finnish Winter War (against Sovietunion), when the Finnish warprisoners were deported to Siberia (into labour/concentration camps).
Only God can stop this. Let us pray that God will intervene and stop this, and also that only God's will will happen in the Ukranian war and not the will of the rulers of this world."
I found a link about how Ukrainians are being deported to Russia:
This is a serious threat on free speech! Twitter, Facebook and Instagram lock accounts out and call it hate speech, just because they are inconvenient or speak the truth. You know, even saying that Jesus is the only way to God, or saying God created us to male and female is hate speech. This world is upside down. The Babylon Bee is a satire page, humor! It's ridiculous that you can't even joke about the craziness in our world.
These Ukrainian Christians are my heroes. Most people would be scared to death if they would be in the same situation - in between two Russian frontlines. They don't deny reality (they are in contact with the military). And they don't deny the Biblical reality.

A picture of Finnish soldiers on skis, with Russian soldiers that are captives, during the Winter War (WWII). @sinbach told about these swift soldiers on skis, on a BTJ podcast episode. He's not the only one who has compared the war in Ukraine, with the Finnish Winter War. Stalin believed Finland would be overtaken in less than 2 weeks, but Finland showed unexpected resitance (just like Ukraine). We stayed independent.
Sinner saved by grace. Christ in me, the Hope of Glory!!! Like Richard & Sabina Wurmbrand, I was Jewish-born but not practicing. Former Buddhist nun. The Lord delivered me out of darkness and I was born again at age 55 (am 67 now). I live in California. On Christ the Solid Rock I stand, all other ground is sinking sand - all other ground is sinking sand. "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; old things have passed away; behold, all things have become new." 2Co 5:17
