We all know that faith is the  substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen but I had not  seen it all yet.<\/p>\n<p>Two years ago was the best and hardest year of my days with New Tribes  Mission since walking into the gate of the training center in 1973. My faith  and my love for God had never been stretched more. I must admit that I am  not &#8220;faith tough&#8221;, leaving my son and his family in the middle of the jungle  brought tears and fears. The PNG jungle looks so big at times and I very  well knew where they would be living for the next several years. As I hiked  out of the village that day my mind wondered into the Word of God, the place  I often find rest in days like this. Some times I would find myself  reminding God of the place I was leaving those small granddaughters, like he  did not know, God must laugh at times.<\/p>\n<p>Look with me to the book of Revelations where my mind lingered and my heart  found rest as well. Rev. 2:13 &#8220;I know where you dwell, where Satan&#8217;s throne  is.&#8221; What comfort knowing He knows all about where we live, He knows it is  the place that Satan dwells as well and you know what? He knows about all  the snakes, bugs, sickness and all the other things that play with our minds  as we live in the places where Satan dwells.<\/p>\n<p> Moms and dads, in the middle of God&#8217;s will is the safest place we can leave  our children and the most exciting place for them to dwell. Never be afraid  to allow them to follow Jesus to the regions beyond for the glory of God.
