For it is in the brokenness of the soul that my spirit lives.
The last few weeks God reminded me of His grace and that it is indeed only by His grace that I am saved. Never will I make it on my own and never will I be enough. My daily strength only comes from God Himself. Waiting and yearning for Him in every moment is my only air to breath. He will make everything new in such a way that I will not find myself in it again. Therefore I pray time and time again: Lord, make me and mold me the way YOU want me to be. It is not just in my fellowship that I find the need to belong Lord, but it is indeed right up to the bone, my very being, that I need to be in You and part of You. You are always there, like a crazy lover looking to meet me. You are looking after me like a caring protecting Father; You are waiting for me at home with a warm meal and a shoulder to lean on. My search for You are never far and I always manage to find You close.
It is not for me to speak such a word, but my longing for God lately came in a time when I was in a good place. I was content and very happy. Still I had a deep sincere need for more of God. With a broken soul I beg from you only a day of full companionship with God, and then live to tell the story. I one's heard a song from Steve Green saying: I will go were there are no easy road, I will go and tell the story. In Global Challenge the journey becomes our home and telling the story a privilege and lifestyle.
I have the opportunity to go on our 3 Nations Asia short term outreach this June/July holidays. I praise God for a journey where His story can be told. For me to go is a privilege. You can help me to be able to tell the story by praying and donating funds.
Prayer request:
- Our faith journey
- The missionaries that we are going to visit (Tobi - Thailand and Andrew - Cambodia)
- Our team leaders (Francois and Tjaard)
- Protection of team members as we travel
The Lord provided for me already in half my funds (R7400) and I still trust Him for the rest. (R6600) If you feel led to be part in such a way, you can donate online or here is our banking detail:

Florence Littower one's said: Out there is a song, waiting to be sing, a book waiting to be written, a story waiting to be told. Dear friend, I beg of you one day in total companionship with God and then live to tell the story. Most importantly live!
Your friend,
Charmaine
