The final devotional in this Bartimaeus series this week; Bartimaeus followed Christ who healed him - He heals us too, but do we follow Him?

@Cherishingsparrows2020
My Asian culture made me ask few questions. Forgive me if they are not appropriate in Western culture.

Samaritan woman went out sharing her story immediately. Man with legion of evil spirits was asked to go back / remain in Decapolis. A new believer may have to face many hardships while entering the Kingdom.
The new believer is staying with you for 11 months? I don't know the full story or background.
In our culture 3 months is the maximum we allow new believers to be dependent on the community or leader.

Finally, because we are led by the Spirit not flesh, traditions or legalistic traditions, you have the freedom to mentor new believers in your own way.
Praying for more and more souls to be added to your ministry.

Prayers are welcome for a 32 year old disciple living in our home (my husband had the privilege of sharing Jesus with him 11 months ago and afterward he was baptized and has been very eager to learn more of God's Word and share with others). Right now he is going through COVID. The rest of our family is fine. We had this sickness a year ago and I believe our immune response has been very good, praise God. Of course, we are still trying to do what we can to remain healthy. But, I wanted to ask your prayers for our family and especially for this brother in our home.

I was able to talk on the phone to both of my boys last night.
Such a treat! 🎉

Trying to catch some sunlight at 3 PM right before sunset. The days will get shorter until winter solstice December 21. Not my favorite time of the year before the ground is getting white. Sunny days like today are more of an exception since Nov use to be quite rainy.

“There is a systematic effort going on right now to prevent the public from knowing about pilots getting very ill or very dead in the air. The airlines don’t want to lose money, and the administration doesn’t want the public to know the true dangers of the vaccine. I know for fact that Secretary of Transportation Pete Buttigieg ordered the airlines to classify incidents involving pilot deaths.”

What can we learn about prayer from Bartimaeus?

@tanjaostman there's an awful lot of depressing news............i've had to learn to ignore some of it or I'll be overwhelmed, and I can take quite a bit of bad news

while in hospital there was a 6 year old having a panic attack..............a 6 YEAR OLD! it breaks my heart to think of that

"ICAN wanted to see proof of any instance in which someone who previously had COVID-19 became reinfected with and transmitted the virus to someone else.  The CDC’s incredible response is that it does not have a single document reflecting that this has ever occurred.  Not one. In contrast, there are endless documents reflecting cases of vaccinated individuals becoming infected with and transmitting the virus to others.  Such as this study.  And this study.  And this study.  And this study.  It goes on and on…"

To all my Dutch friends, this book about the amazing life of Pastor Zhang Rongliang is now available.
How did a former rising star in the Communist Party become a Christian? How did he start an underground house church movement with over 10 million believers today?
This is a powerful testimony that changed my life forever.

@sinbach so sick! Poor children! This measure has nothing to do with health and protection.

Imagine....your child leaves home for school in the morning and later that day you discover that the government detained them and all their classmates and sent them to a government quarantine camp because someone in the school was suspected of being exposed to the coronavirus.
This just happened at our sons' secondary school in Hong Kong.
No one at the school was sick.
No one from the school has tested positive.
The detention of all 120 children and sending them to a government quarantine camp was based on POSSIBLE exposure.

Had to share this! It's great.

Love Norwich University! Our eldest son spent veteran's day celebrations this week helping the Israeli Consulate General tour the campus.

Love Montana State University! Our youngest son, Micah was up at 5 AM this morning in -5C with fellow students helping decorate the streets of Bozeman with flags in honor of Veteran's Day.
So excited for both of our boys and the opportunities they are having in University.
