Coming to a Close

This weekend we had a fellowship with our Bible studies in Pili. We were encouraging them to take their faith a step further in the first act of obedience. They said they were not ready but all of them came to the Bible study and the husband of one of the mothers was taking notes! It is so awesome to be apart of their spiritual growth.

We also had four of them attend church with us this morning! My prayer for them is not to form religious habits but to see the importance and life-changing experience they can have in their relationship with Jesus. I could not imagine a life without Him. Through the good and bad He is worth living for!!

This morning the pastor spoke in Matthew 5 - ye are the salt of the earth. After the service, the church thanked me for working with these mothers and sharing the gospel with them. This service was two-fold for me - it encouraged me and reminded me that when I return to the states, even though I don't know what is the next step- what I'll be doing or where I'll be working etc., I am still supposed to be a light to those around me. Secondly, everyone is supposed to be a light. So many people here have called me a missionary and even so far to say a "pastora" I feel I am inadequate to be called either. I simply just graduated from college and felt Gods peace to take time off from what the world thinks I should pursue immediately- wealth, a successful career etc. and follow God's leading to simply tell others about Him!

As this experience and journey is coming to a close I am excited to see how God will continue to work !!
