”…I did not prove disobedient to the heavenly vision.” (Acts 26:19) “If you abide in Me, and My words abide in you, ask whatever you wish, and it will be done for you. My Father is glorified by this, that you bear fruit, and so prove to be My disciples.” (John 15:7-8)NASB
This August, I will have been in Arandis, Namibia for five years. When I awoke that morning five years ago with the Lord’s voice resounding in my soul, “Ten years!” I had no idea how His plan would unfold. For me the vision seemed simple, help start a school for the orphans and vulnerable children the Lord had placed in the care of Hope’s Promise Orphan Ministries Namibia.
The Lord’s plan is seldom simple or easy. If it were, how would we learn to depend on Him and become the disciple He would have us be? My prayer continues to be that the Lord will hold me close and that I will not let my vision stand in His way.
The ministry is now “Children of Promise Ministries”. This change is a result of the ministry becoming based totally in Namibia. You can visit the new website at www.childrenofpromiseministries.org. Read the rest of this entry
