I love that two of your "next steps" involve prayer, because I don't know if I'll ever get over to touch a person on that side of the globe. But the fact that you, as ministers, believe in it's effectiveness and ability to transcend time and distance keeps me going and on my knees for these people. Second, this post reminds me of one of my (((many))) life verses: Hosea 6:1-3:1 "Come, let us return to the LORD. He has torn us to pieces but he will heal us; he has injured us but he will bind up our wounds. After two days he will revive us; on the third day he will restore us, that we may live in his presence. Let us acknowledge the LORD;let us press on to acknowledge him. As surely as the sun rises, he will appear; he will come to us like the winter rains, like the spring rains that water the earth." Though we may not know tangible dust and drought, many of us Westerners know spiritual dust and drought. Yet oh, how we can (and WILL!) rejoice WHEN His rains come and quench us. Peter in Ukraine knows (perhaps not in so many words) all about spring rains and the timely appearance of The King. The people you've touched in Africa know about the rivers of abundance Christ Jesus provides. Thanks to you all, more folks around the globe are knee-deep in the blessed muck of His grace and mercy and love. Thanks and prayers and blessings over you all.
