WHY?<\/strong><\/p>\n

This is a word that has been on my mind a lot recently.\u00a0 In everything I do or say or think I have been asking WHY?<\/strong>\u00a0 By asking this question GOD has been showing me how often I do things, say things, and think things for my own benefit and for my own personal satisfaction.\u00a0 GOD desires to be my LIFE and I am reminded of 1Corinthians 6:20 \u201cFor you are bought with a price, therefore glorify God in your body, and in your spirit, which are GOD’s.\u201d\u00a0 I am not to do things for my benefit or my satisfaction but for HIS honor and glory as I worship HIM and HIM alone.
\nOur continued prayer and desire is\u00a0to be used for GOD\u2019s honor and glory.\u00a0 We have been blessed and are thankful for your\u00a0partnership with us in the ministry of caring for missionaries.\u00a0\u00a0Missionaries serving in many different countries around\u00a0the world as well as missionaries who serve in the United States have been in our home\u00a0and we along with YOU have been able to point them to the LORD and care for them.\u00a0 We enjoy giving them a place to sleep and sharing meals together and spend time with them.\u00a0 We have the opportunity to listen to them and show them the love of GOD. \u00a0Please continue to pray and ask GOD to continue to give us wisdom in how to come alongside missionaries and be a blessing in their lives.
\nWe would also invite each of YOU to ask the question, WHY?\u00a0<\/strong> Is GOD being glorified and honored in everything YOU do, say and think?\u00a0 What a privilege it is to serve the KING of KINGS and LORD of LORDS. \u00a0What a privilege to see HIM be worshiped and get the honor and glory due HIM.
\nThank YOU for your faithfulness, encouragement and friendship.\u00a0 YOU have been a blessing in our lives and we do love and appreciate each one of YOU.\u00a0 Remember our desire is to also be a blessing to each of YOU.\u00a0\u00a0 WHY?<\/strong>\u00a0 So that we can both see the LORD JESUS CHRIST receive all of our worship and praise as we serve HIM together and make HIS NAME known throughout the whole earth.
\nThe two missionary families in this Tribe came thru the Waukesha Bible School when we were on staff there. Below are some testimonies shared by believers in this tribe. \u00a0 You may or may not have time to read all of these testimonies \u2026 we have summed a few of them up as they are too long to write.<\/p>\n

\u201cNot to us, Oh Lord, Not to Us \u2026but to YOUR NAME be the glory because of your love & faithfulness.\u201d (Ps. 115:1)<\/p>\n

JANET:<\/strong><\/em> (and her son) \u201cI was an angry, hateful lady before.\u00a0 I said, \u2018God, I hate my husband Keno. He uses all we have on home brew alcohol.\u00a0 He is a crazy drunk. Let him die!\u00a0 But \u2026 if you don\u2019t get rid of him, you have to do something to change him.\u2019\u00a0 God did more than I ever thought he could do.\u00a0 God changed both my husband and he changed me as well.\u00a0 He saved both of us by His\u00a0big\u00a0grace. Now, I love my husband.\u201d<\/p>\n

KENO:<\/strong><\/em> (Janet’s husband) \u201cYou all know me.\u00a0 Whenever we as a village used to meet to talk about things, I used to run and hide.\u00a0 I was afraid to talk in public, so I hid. I refused to talk.\u00a0 But now I am a different person.\u00a0 I want to thank God for what he has done.\u00a0 He has changed me and given me the courage to talk.\u00a0 It is all because of the Spirit of God that I can preach the Word of God.\u00a0 I no longer fear what people think about me because I am only speaking the words the Spirit of God gives me.\u00a0 It is all him who steers me, so I am not afraid. That is all.\u201d<\/p>\n
