We Are Not Alone!

As Christians we have the holy spirit in us, to guide us and help us to know and hear his direction for our lives and those around us. How many have watched the show "Touched By An Angel"? Often times that is how I see my role as a Christian. I am on a mission for something greater than me, with a understanding that I am just a vessel being used for God's spirit to flow through me to others, who are in need of encouragement, a helping hand, or just a shoulder to lean on. God's hands and feet...

In a small group I recently joined we are learning to listen to God's call on our lives and how he speaks to us. As you may imagine every way is unique to the individual and the setting, as we share personal journeys and stories to encourage and pray for each other.

What it does remind me and encourage me though is that we are not alone. Often times we get caught up in our own bubble and think no one cares, but God's word reminds us that we are never alone, even when no one is around. His spirit resides in us and when we seek him, he is always there. We then have the opportunity to reach out to others in the natural, pointing to Jesus so that he can then speak to them in his spirit.

Many are aware that I have started an outreach in India through the help of colleagues on the ground and support from friends here in the states, with a desire to show them God's love by helping to meet their immediate needs in a very practical way, and point them to Jesus for everlasting life.

 I am asking for prayer for this mission and those who are serving and others who are giving selflessly financially that they will be encouraged and strengthened in their  journey as well, and will grow stronger in their faith, as God's word goes forth in this hill station in Southern India.

Attached is an outreach video to share with others. As you watch, please pass along to your prayer groups and pray each day as we approach Easter, that God's word would fill these people's hearts in a mighty way, in Jesus Name!
