God is really moving here...

We were privileged to see a powerpoint presentation here at the IT office about the many missionaries that have been sent out of the Philippines to many countries here in the East. Truly amazing stories of God's call on their lives and His faithfulness to fulfill that call.

One lady felt God was calling her to Israel, to go there and spread the Gospel. She makes $6 a month, so the task was impossible. God gave her a vision of a man who would bring her the money for her flight. Sure enough, within a few days, a man comes crying to the IT office saying God told him to bring this money to the office. It was just the money that women needed to leave. Now she is in Israel and serving the Lord there. There are countless other stories of men and women here who have very little money, so that it is impossible to go on mission trips, but they hear the call of God on their lives, so they just obey. And it is not to easy countries where Christianity is commonplace. It is to places like Aceh, Indonesia, the Muslim mecca of Asia, China, Thailand, Japan, Africa. These people do not have money to support themselves or their pastor, but God provides their funds so that they can fulfill the call that He has on their lives. They take off by boat or plane to these countries, and then they arrive with just dollars in their pockets. Once there, locals feel compelled to give them cars and homes because God had told them to do so! How amazing is God's faithfulness! Money is not a hindrance! These people just stepped out in obedience, they are doing His work in these countries, and He is providing for all their needs miraculously! These missionaries see amazing changes in the people that they work with, and many locals come to know the love of Christ and a knowledge of Christ through their work.

Today was a real encouragement of how God has amazing plans in store for us. All we need to do is obey His call, have faith, and prepare to see Him move in amazing ways!
