Good Morning Friends - Today is Tuesday and it is 10:30 am.  (losing track of what day :)
Wanted to take time to begin to put down a few testimonies ~
On the plane to Amsterdam sat next to a young man that wanted to chat.  He has been traveling all over the world to different countries and seemed like he needed to have a good conversation!  His name is Aaron and he has wandered away from the faith that he had as a child in his mother/father's house.  He and his father have not spoken in 4 years and they seem to have quite a lot of bitterness between them.  His mother is heartbroken but stands with the father so he feels that he can't really have a good/honest conversation with his mom.  It was funny the way all this came out - the Lord was leading the conversation and it became clear that God was calling him back.  I asked him if he could see how
God had been speaking to him as he traveled and he said "oh yes".  When he was in London, he lost his wallet so he had no i.d. and no money and he was wandering down a street and there was a prayer group there who he fell into conversation with.  They asked if they could pray with him and within a short time, he had provision.  The second thing that happened to him he was picked up from the airport by a shuttle and he was alone with the driver and the driver started prophesying to him that he was lost and that God was calling him back.  He told him the secrets of his heart and when he left the shuttle he thought how strange it was. (Ha!)  Then he gets on the airplane to be surrounded by our team.  Needless to say, all we could do was affirm/confirm that God was indeed extending his hand to provide love, peace and comfort to heal his broken heart.  It was precious to see how God pursues even when we are wandering away.  I suggested that perhaps the healing could begin with a phone call to his dad or a letter - he thought it was a good idea - pray that he will run to the Father to receive the embrace of his heavenly and earthly father - love you guys - will continue to send testimonies as the opportunities arise - there are many....

We miss our families and community but God has been so faithful and we have been so affirmed that our coming was good and right.  Blessings, Linda
