Good evening all you beautiful people
I just came back from church and listened to Petra telling us about the Man of Sorrows according to Isaiah 53. Read all of it. Such a message of hope in this terrible world that Jesus came for us and suffered for us.
2-6 the servant grew up before God—a scrawny seedling, a scrubby plant in a parched field. There was nothing attractive about him, nothing to cause us to take a second look. He was looked down on and passed over, a man who suffered, who knew pain firsthand. One look at him and people turned away. We looked down on him, thought he was scum. But the fact is, it was our pains he carried—our disfigurements, all the things wrong with us. We thought he brought it on himself, that God was punishing him for his own failures. But it was our sins that did that to him, that ripped and tore and crushed him—our sins! He took the punishment, and that made us whole. Through his bruises we get healed. We’re all like sheep who’ve wandered off and gotten lost. We’ve all done our own thing, gone our own way. And God has piled all our sins, everything we’ve done wrong, on him, on him. (The Message)
Please pray for Toinette as she is in Namibia visiting family and spending quality time with her mum. Ouma Paula is doing a bit better with the pain but she is just very tired. Hopefully, by die end of the week she will be able to go home to Swakopmund and then Toinette can be there with her. Toinette is enjoying her time with her family and she says she is sleeping every night in a different bed.
Pray for Anton and me going to the jungle tomorrow. We will meet up with friends Greg and Curtis halfway and spend 2 days with them riding in the bush. Pray for open hearts and minds while we help people with meds as well as with the Word of God, showing His love in such a beautiful way. Pray for safety on the roads as we need to travel far.
Pray for friends that are helping in Turkey with the earthquake. They reach out to some believers in very remote areas. Pray that some help will reach those people in Syria. Because of war lots of people are suffering even more now than before and aid cannot reach them.
We pray that you will have a great week and that the Lord will bless you all in a special way.
Love
