Not Anxious
We don’t know what tomorrow holds but we do know the God of tomorrow. While it is difficult to make plans for the coming year, we can say with the apostle James, “If the Lord wills we will do this or that.”
It is Fred’s and my desire to return to what we do best, and that is to travel and encourage Christian leaders and their people. But if we have learned anything during the past year it is this, “if the Lord wills we will do this or that.” We are not anxious, no we are excited, anticipating good things, and believing that it is the Lord who directs our path.
“Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”— yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” James 4:13-15 ESV
Open Doors
The end of this week I (Debby) will be on my way to Guatemala. I’ll be hosted by Inn Ministries and Mike and LaTonya Lewis the ministries’ founders. The schedule for me includes speaking in several different workshops, a woman’s conference and a local church gathering. The process of traveling again is quite different from the past. I have to have a negative Covid test and a registered health form to fly to Guatemala, a negative Covid test to fly back to the USA, and then a negative Covid test 3 days after I return to New York. All of these are time sensitive and is quite tricky to have all done in the correct timeframes.
Fred and I plan to travel to Benin in March. This will be the first trip we have done together in a long time. We will teach at two different Bible schools and in local churches.
Future Travels
I hope to travel to the Philippines this spring however because of Covid restrictions, the country is not yet receiving foreign visitors. I will go as soon as the doors open. Please pray with us as we make plans.
Thanksgiving
Mark and Grace are home on Palawan. We were able to get flights home but because of ticketing issues and a Typhoon, they were not able to fly until Christmas Day. Then they were in quarantine for 2 weeks in Manila and again on Palawan. Finally they were able to see their family. Thank you for all of the prayers.
