We finished our time in Abidjan by ministering in the Sunday morning
services Rana shared
in Pastor Agnus’s on the importance of having a secret place with God. Afterwards,
we prayed a prayer of blessing over each member of the church.
I had the opportunity to minister in a church that I visited
seven years ago. On my first visit,
though, there was not building but only dirt.
Our team had prayed for this pastor and the church that would be there. So, it was a great joy to be able to minister
to this congregation of Harvesters
Miracle Church. This trip showed me so much the faithfulness
of God. I was so encouraged to see the
work that has continued in these seven years, and I was also encouraged by the
work that God has done in my life since then.
Many times on this trip I was reminded of old dreams that I had (when I thought
I would one day live in Africa), and many
times I felt like I was through these dreams. I was encouraged to see that things that I only
dreamed of are now a reality before my eyes.
Just has God has caused these hopes and dreams come to pass. I know that the dreams I still hold in my
heart, for my life and ministry, and for God’s work in the Middle
East – I will see as a reality before my eyes!
For
the vision is yet for an appointed time;
But at the end it will speak, and it will
not lie.
Though it tarries, wait for it;
Because it will surely come,
It will not tarry.
Habakkuk 2:3
