Hey Dingdash family! We have something new and super exciting to share with you.
Every day, during the twelve days leading up to Christmas, we will pray together for the persecuted church living in the nations between China and Jerusalem. Each day will be focused on a different nation BTJ missionaries are working in and will be posted on the website and here on DD.
... and so we start today! 🙏🏼❤️🎄
ON THE FIRST DAY OF CHRISTMAS my Savior gave to me, the sign of an old wooden cross made from a simple tree:

Recently my 20-year-old son and I were talking in the car about how hard life is for his generation. And then the Spirit spoke these words through me:
Adulthood is about adapting to (and embracing) disappointments. Every person, every job, opportunity, and experience will disappoint you at some time. Life is one disappointment after another... but that doesn't mean that life is disappointing. (It's all about mindset and perspective.)
Very IMPORTANT!!! Please pray for EUROPE... I never thought seeing this... France is also planning to make a law to force people to get vaccinated... But the children of the kingdom have power and authority...https://youtu.be/bOAOwpUG-E8
The most intimate moments I have with God are when I'm driving in silence, sweeping the driveway, cleaning the house, in the middle of the night, etc.
All in silence.
It's in the silence that I hear Him.
Elisabeth Elliot--
"A Christian who is saturated with the Word," my father wrote, "is likely to have a calm, wholesome outlook on life; to be kept steady in the path of God's will in either joy or sorrow, wealth or poverty; he is likely to be a pleasant companion, not voluble in aimless talk; and he will not be overly disturbed by world conditions."
(The Shaping of a Christian Family, p.56)
Psalm 119:105
God loves using those who, to most, are the least likely to qualify.
Another day of protests. Another Bible burning as the crowd chants:
"NO COPS! NO CHRISTIANS! WE NEED A REVOLUTION!"

Ministry is in the marketplace, too.
That doesn't mean we need to stand up on desks and preach. It means loving, listening, caring, going above and beyond, being the best business man or woman, unwavering ethics, going out to coffee and caring/sharing...
How do you minister where God has called you to be?
There's a process for everything. Let's remember to not rush and enjoy the preparation time to take us into our next steps. :)
Please #pray for my U friend. She has been taken to labor camp twice since 2017. She was released some time ago. She has a lot of financial problems now.
