I'm on the email list of a travelling missionary of sorts and I ogt the following email from him this morning. He sends it to many people so sharing it here is not a problem. It's encouraging.
(BEGIN)
"Due to modern technology, I continue to minister in several locations in Israel. Translating materials from English to Arabic and discipling leaders who are stepping up to the plate is so encouraging."
"Last Friday Brother H went to the Jordan River where God gave him the courage to conduct his very first baptism service. Because of a near drowning incident in his childhood, he always had a fear of water. The miracle is that he overcame his fears to accomplish a Kingdom goal. His excitement was so contagious. He was thrilled as he explained how he gave a short teaching on the principles of baptism in English and then in Arabic. He then baptized three people. Brother N was the only one of the three who is from a Muslim background. Remember to continue praying because there are eight others in a safe house who are still waiting to take the plunge!"
Thank you for continuing to pray as I run my race in missions. I still have my eyes on the prize.(END)
Amen!
