AGAPE!

We spent almost the whole day at the Agape Children's Village today, where we were on Tuesday as well. It was great to go back and see all of the kids again. They sang songs for us, and welcomed us once again. We played some games with them, painted their faces, made them balloons, and then ate lunch with them before we left. It was a lot of fun just to be there. Tomorrow we will be going to Agape Baptist for church, where the Masiko family attends church. We are looking forward to it, and we are excited to visit the people there. Please pray for Pastor Frank Plummer, as he will be teaching at both of the services at the church tomorrow. The Lord has great things in store for those two services I am sure.

I also wanted to thank all of you who have been commenting these posts. It has been a huge blessing to hear from the people back home. I have been reading all of your comments and emails aloud to the whole team, and it has been very encouraging. Please continue to pray for us as we are continuously fighting a spiritual battle. Praise the Lord for all that He is doing!

I am glad to hear that you guys were so blessed at the Agape village. In the pictures all of the children look so happy and filled with such joy by your visit. The smiles on their faces speak volumes as to the blessings that the Lord is delivering. I will be praying for the service Sunday morning, I know that the Lord is going to have a wonderful message for all to hear. I will also be praying for each person on the team as we all know that you are most definitly going through a spiritual battle. Keep strong in the Lord, He will fight the battle for you. God Bless!

Finally, my brethren, be strong in the Lord, and in the power of his might. Put on the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. For we wrestle not against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this world, against spiritual wickedness in high [places]. Wherefore take unto you the whole armour of God, that ye may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. Stand therefore, having your loins girt about with truth, and having on the breastplate of righteousness; And your feet shod with the preparation of the gospel of peace; Above all, taking the shield of faith, wherewith ye shall be able to quench all the fiery darts of the wicked. And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God: Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints;

Ephesians 6:10-18
