POLICE DELAYS, GOD OVERRULES - Prayer Update August 24th to September 6th

 

EXHORTATION 💕

💝  RAISE THEM ON GOD'S WORD

Our greatest asset for regional and national security is our families through "how we raise our children".

Deuteronomy 6:4-9 

4 “Hear, O Israel: The Lord our God, the Lord is one! 

5 You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. (Matt 22:37)

6 “And these words which I command you today shall be in your heart. 

7 You shall teach them diligently to your children, and shall talk of them when you sit in your house, when you walk by the way, when you lie down, and when you rise up. 

8 You shall bind them as a sign on your hand, and they shall be as frontlets between your eyes. 

9 You shall write them on the doorposts of your house and on your gates.

Let us Ensure that our families are assets in the land

1.One God vs 4

There is no other God apart from the one God of the Holy Bible.  No, he is not the same God of other religions with a different name.  

2.Love Him Completely vs 5

We must love Him with ALL our Heart (Actions), Soul (Feelings), Strength (Muchness, cf. Matt 22:37-Thoughts) …

3. In Your Heart vs 6

Before you can effectively guide your children you must have Him in your heart. In other words, He MUST be YOUR Lord Personally.  By confessing Him as Lord and by believing that God raised Him from the dead. 

1. Instill the word vs 7-9

• Teach them

'Learning brings about change.  No change = No learning.' 

• Apply/Practice it at home…
• Apply it when you are out
• Devotions at Night and the Morning
• Put it in their Hands
• Place it in their Heads
• Post it in your Home

Let us Ensure that our families are assets in the land

PRAISE! 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

🙌🏾 GOING WELL

The young lady that I am guiding electronically seems to be doing well.  She has completed her study of 1st John and has moved on to Ephesians.   She has had a rough time since the young man (whose actions played a role in her attempted suicide) has been harassing her.  Please remember her in prayer.

THANKSGIVING 🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾

🙌🏾 JUNIOR CAMP

Junior camp was August 24th to 26th.  We thank God for an average turnout of 85 children and that some children committed their lives to God during the camp.

🙏🏾RAE-ANN

Semester 3 is underway and Rae is doing fine.  

The challenges continue to come.  Now her laptop which is her only means of getting classes done is showing signs of "giving up the ghost" 😢

We are now pursuing getting her a robust laptop to last her until her studies are over. 

🙏🏾REUBEN

Having chalked up some experience in the field of sound engineering, Reuben feels confident enough to monetize his skills and is in the process of sending out resumes for employment in the field.   Please remember him in your prayer and assist him in anyway you could. 

🙏🏾CAR

After waiting three months the officers at the office of the Assistant Commissioner of Police, Northwest, were still unable to complete processing the accident report.  The office of the comptroller of accounts was therefor unable to process their part.  However after prayer and persistence I learned that the comptroller was able to "sign off" on the issue once they got the accident coding which was already in my possession for some time. 🙈  (The ACP/NW's office are now free to take their time having no idea that God has already moved on without them. 😁)

I lodged a challenge over the $10,000.00 estimate of the salvage and the Comptroller will get back to me by Friday 11th September 2020.  Meanwhile if you know anyone who wants the salvage for TT$10,000,00 please let me know ASAP. 

The family's position is still to sell the "salvage" for the cost of the adjusters estimate and use the funds toward the purchase of a new vehicle. 

Please remember us in prayer since there is significant disparity between $40,000.00 and the cost of a vehicle that would be useful in ministry.
