He Is Able...

Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. Ephesians 3:20

I must report to you about our sweet babies in Ethiopia. No news with them personally, but there is new news!!! We received a generous donation of $6,000! That means we only need $8,000 and that includes travel!!! God is so good. This couple who donated told us that it was in “direct response” to a video they watched about our responsibility as the rich in this world to give to the poor, widowed, orphaned, lost and oppressed.

The video is well worth the watch! Dr. David Platt is a young pastor in Alabama, with a passion for the lost that we all should desire, knowing that people are dying and going to hell.
http://www.vimeo.com/5514321 If you follow this link you will be able to watch David Platt, preach this life changing sermon. He also has a series of 8 sermons that Bryan and I have watched together with our children that I would implore you to watch. This is for all of us, not just for a few!! The series is called RADICAL…you can click on this link and it will take you to site. Start with the first and watch through to the eighth. http://www.brookhills.org/media/series/radical

In these days, we are all so busy and don’t think we have time to do another thing. Please believe me that I know this, but I pray you will make the time. This is about our God, and His heart, not about Bryan or myself. Be prepared to be convicted, maybe a little put off, in tears, challenged and moved into action. This is better than any Hollywood movie out there and it is FREE!!! It also makes a great date night if you are married, and if you are single it is a date with Jesus!

You all have been so wonderful to pray and lift us up!! God hears!!! Please continue to pray for direction, ministry, our children, wisdom and the Lords will!! We love each and every one of you dearly, and are blessed to call you friends.

Abba Father ... to you belongs all the praise and glory. May the mightiness of your faithfulness move our hearts to do more ... to be more. May we all use what you teach us to make a difference in a world that is yearning for salvation. Thank you for this amazing provision. Thank you for this pastor who is willing to speak such truth. I am beyond words once again. Amen
