@Jf_dream God's promises are true, what he said always will be true!
@Jf_dream I think it's a good model for reaching the community and supporting fellow Christians. : )
@Knittinggrace I feel like I don't know what to say, and I think this could be helped with some evangelistic training...this is why I identified with the word "not qualified". : )
@Knittinggrace I've honestly been hoping that everything being closed will encourage more people to start home-churches and small fellowship groups...that's really great! : )
This is how I have felt my whole life. I wish that there was a way I could change that : /

EVANGEMYTH 👇🏽

This post from #WithinReachGlobal reminded me of rural church in Ukraine...
“No sound system. No band. No guitar. No entertainment. No cushioned chairs. No heating or air-con. Nothing but the people of God and the word of God. And strangely, that’s enough. God’s Word is enough for millions of believers who gather in house churches… Jungles… Rainforests, and middle-eastern cities. But is his Word enough for us?” – David Platt, Radical
@RebeckaB I started a routine like you suggested..and I've kept it going for 3 days now : ) I'm going to try to stick with it. You inspired me, haha :) it's pretty basic, just read my bible and drink more water after I wake up.
4,000 years ago China's greatest emperor in antiquity and longest serving ruler wrote these words, "I would like to accept God, the Son, and the Holy Spirit and receive from thee my gift of eternity." China's forgotten believer
A group on Facebook had 400,000 followers, just sharing stories about their lockdown experiences and FB shut it down yesterday! I'm not that surprised to be honest...they were supporting a barber who opened his shop (legally), but against our governor's opinion.. (Michigan, USA)
Back to Jerusalem ministry update for various countries : ) and ways to pray : )

Check out this article that BTJ published, pertaining to the claim that the virus was created in a Wuhan lab. Thought of you! :)

"When He saw the crowds, He had compassion for them, because they were harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd. Then He said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few; therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest.” Matthew 9:36-38
@RebeckaB this time of reading through the bible, I've tried to mark wherever God promises something...so that in times of trouble I can go back and jump right to encouraging promises.
@RebeckaB I love this psalm! <3
@Ashtree from this article it sounds like every freeborn Roman man was expected to have a boyfriend on the side. I see your point....this was much more extreme than current times, although in comparison with other periods of history..nothing new.
"It's been an incredible couple of weeks as #WithinReachGlobal continues our food distribution program among underprivileged communities in Thailand. COVID-19 has impacted millions of people in Southeast Asia by removing their means of income. This has led to a skyrocketing suicide rate in Thailand. We have been partnering with local churches to bless ethnic communities in our area. We have been able to bless people at nearby elephant camps that have been hit hard financially"
Give it all to Jesus.
"Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you." 1 Peter 6-7
@Knittinggrace that's true : / I know! It's been so fun to see people working to get their freedom back. : ) checks and balances aren't working like they are supposed to, so people are taking things into their own hands.
@Knittinggrace I'm 25 wks pregnant..so technically it's supposed to be getting worse, not better...but this is a great relief after a month of heartburn! This pregnancy has been really hard, but God has blessed me in a lot of ways.
