Today is a busy day, Andrew is working excitedly on his new desk. Its an African creation that is unlike anything Ive ever seen, so beautiful. Brittany has been washing our clothes and I have been tying up loose administrative ends. This is our first day back in the old routine after two weeks of hosting 10 guests from Bill Johnson's church in CA, Visiting the President, the parliament, building relationships with some of the most influential people in Sierra Leone, and seeing a multitude of miracles mostly physical but some circumstantial. At the beginning of the year we really were feeling like God was going to do a lot. Andrew was saying 'we will do less and see more' encouraging us to just focus on God. So far we are far from disappointed. Here are some things that have happened.1. Miracles -- We went to the hospital with the team from California. One man due for spine surgery was later released as he no longer needed it. One young man, Unisa, who had fallen from a tree and had been paralyzed from the waist down for three years is now moving his legs, they are growing in strength and he now wants to be a pastor to his village in eastern S. Leone! We saw a multitude of other healings, bad vision perfected, arms and legs strengthened and lengthened, back pain removed, malaria healed. I learned a lot from the team from California to expect that God is good and He wants to heal all the time! Its a blessing here where people often don't have any other way to help themselves. 2. Pastor Andrew and the team from CA visited with the president and His wife. They were able to pray with them and be a real encouragement in the midst of a hard time. 3. We went to a session of Parliament and afterward met with and prayed with the speaker of the house and the other party leaders. 4. The team from CA had contacts with some of the more influential families in Sierra Leone. They are wonderful, Godly people and from that the ministry has gained access to three plots of land, one of which pastor Andrew's wife has been praying for for over 3 years.5.We started two new churches, Andrew now meets in town and holds a service every Sunday on the street. While doing business a businessman gave us a property to use across the street from a club where teenage prostitution is rampid. We have also begun to meet there. 6. The business Ive embarked on is going well. I am trying to raise funds through it for both the work in the provinces and also to raise money to send a container here. So far we have profited over 2000 dollars for the work. Watching Andrew make his new desk there is a sense of what we are here for. We want to help Africans rebuild Africa out of their African hearts. What would Africa look like without war, poverty, and corruption? For this reason God has allowed us to influence with His love and power this country from the President, to a crippled boy from a small village. All is related to helping give Africa their heritage, their glory. Isaiah 49, Rev 21:26 We are honored to be a part of this work. It is worth our lives, to give Him glory. There are so many other things big and small that God has done. We have seen a lot of people give their lives to Jesus, we have grown closer as a team, and God has grown us all individually so much. This is just my perspective, Brittany will have to give her own account soon too!We love you all so much, thank you for your prayers and supportLove Isaac and Brittany
