Hungry for God's Power

Hello All. It has been a great last week here in Amman. We had a women's breakfast at our center that turned out wonderful. The women that came enjoyed a wonderful meal and then heard some truth in Arabic from the pastor's wife at our church.

When the event was drawing to an end I asked one of my friends what the message was about. She told me that the lady spoke about a watch. It was a special watch and it stopped working. The person took it to many places to try and get it fixed and no one could figure out the problem. Finally the person took the watch to the man who made the watch. He was able to fix it quickly. He said that he knew what was wrong because he had made it. Then she continued to relay the message that our creator created us uniquely and we should go to him in all situations. I am not sure if that was actually what was said, but I thought it was a beautiful picture! We are having lunch together tomorrow and I am very excited to hang out with her.

After seeing the reactions that the women had to the message, and their pure joy in being invited to such an event, my heart is becoming desperate to see God work powerfully in their lives. :)

Today I spent time with another friend. We were doing some reading and she was prompted to tell me about her childhood. She is from Africa and grew up in an orphanage. In her country education is a huge privilege that not many have. She told me about many cases where people would just hold the bible in hopes of understanding, and in many cases they were able to read and understand the message. She has experience God in a way that is hard for me to imagine. Today I was encouraged in the miraculous.
