This morning, the pastor at the church we have been attending spent the entire service going in detail over Luke 22...the arrest, trial, and crucifixion of Jesus. Honestly, I have not heard a pastor speak on this in a long time. It was hard to listen to, which is why we probably often skip over the details of His death and straight to the resurrection. How much more His sacrifice means to me when I am reminded of what He went through to save us!
We had several significant breakthroughs this past week. Tim was visiting an apartment complex in Clarkston this week and started up a conversation with a Muslim man from Somalia. They ended up talking for 2 hours about this man's life, and he was very appreciative and open to the Christian faith! Tim is planning to meet with him again this week....
On Friday evening, we spent some time with Khaled and Rasha's family. We read through Luke 19 in Arabic and English together and then discussed what we learned. Hopefully, this is just the beginning of us studying the Bible together on a regular basis.
We also had an answer to prayer yesterday! We have tried several times in the last month or so to reconnect with the Hispanic family that had lived in our building. They moved to another building (I know, it doesn't sound far, but it does make a difference!). Yesterday, Tim prayed that we would hear from them or see them yesterday if God wanted us to continue to invest our time in them. After dinner last night, Tim was giving the boys a bath when we heard a knock at our door. Sure enough, it was Louis, Gladys, and their two children! This was the first time they have ever visited us! Not sure what God has planned for in our relationship with us, but it is very clear that we are to spend time with them in our remaining weeks here.
Please keep us in your prayers!
