Hello friends and family! I hope you are all doing well. I (Brittany) wanted to share a little bit of what has been going on in Sierra Leone.
Isaac and I just came back from a weekend at one of our churches in a village outside of Freetown. As we traveled I found a new love inside me. It was supernatural love, love that God has been working into my heart since I’ve been here. When I would look out the window at the people I just wanted to love them and bless them. We stopped at one little place on the way and I had so much love in my heart. As I was talking to one of the kids he kept pointing to his brother. I went over to his brother and saw that his arm had been broken but had healed wrong. He couldn’t move it and it was crooked. I asked him if he wanted prayer and he said yes. I called Isaac over and we began to pray for him. By the time we were finished he could bend his arm and move it up and down. He could even move his fingers which he couldn’t do before we prayed. It was such an amazing experience for this little boy but it also did something HUGE in my own heart. I felt like I was exactly where I was supposed to be and I was in the middle of the calling that the Lord has for me. I saw so clearly that God knows what He is doing with me and that all that I have experienced and gone through since I’ve been here has all been preparation. It’s like in so many different areas I feel like my life has been in waiting. I see the lack of love in my heart or my inability to reach these people. But I have just been holding on to the promise that God has called us here. I’ve been keeping my eyes on Jesus believing and hoping that something beautiful is going to come of it. While we were on this trip I feel like so much came together for me. I was able to see what some of what God has been doing in me. Love is being established in my heart. Not my own love but love that comes straight from the Father. Seeing this and experiencing God’s love flowing through me has made everything worth it. It has made the struggle, the sacrifice, and hardship of being in Africa worth it. I would pay the price again and again. Having this new vision, I am excited to press on. I am excited about where I am going and what the Father is doing within me. And I am excited to be following Jesus wherever He might send me.
This is one of the most powerful, pivotal experiences that I have had since I have been here. So many things have come together for me in my heart and I wanted to share it with you all.
We love you all so much and are so grateful for your love and support. Thank you!
Love Brittany and Isaac
Happy Easter!!
