Thanks for sharing your divine encounter at the market, Christine. Such an exciting experience of the God before Whom people of every nation bow, even now! May you never lose that awareness ...

Ahh but the joy that comes from knowing that the God of the universe isn't American! There's a deep sense of joy knowing He is Present with you in so many, many ways - not the least of which is through His people in every corner of the globe. Hugs and ongoing prayers for each of you by name! Oh the struggle of being so far away without the ability to bring chicken soup, hugs and our presence.

But also, the prayer warrior in me is quite piqued and agitated. What is going on here...kingdom wise? I've pondered two things...the amazing protection of God cannot be disputed. And, what is this team up to for God's kingdom that requires.. so much distraction, keeping them from their work? So, while this 'mom' would love to have her son home to nurse him back to health...I'm going to spend my time going ahead of this army of four...praising God, asking God to prepare the way for them push back darkness and make His Kingdom known!

Which makes me stop and be thankful for several things. One, we don't have to go there because there are very good doctors half way around the world who know what they are doing. Two, communication has changed so dramatically that we get real time updates (and x-rays)even from deep in the heart of Kibera. Three, an army of people are praying. And, finally...if you don't mind me springboarding off this into a social justice issue...the WND team has the luxury of health insurance which takes away at least part of the burden of being sick. Without considering the cost they can go to get help...good qualified help. Not so for millions of Americans and 100s of millions of people world wide. Once again, the WND team reminds us, even in their misery, of the state of justice in our world and the plight of the marginalized. We're praying for complete recovery and protection for the rest of your time. Thanks guys for the sacrifice!
