Prayer Support:
Please pray in agreement with me for the following:

  • For the School Teaching Schedule: For me to be able to touch every single class with the Love of God and to continue to build upon the foundation that He’s already laid.
  • For the Holy Spirit to further fill the children and reveal the plans and purposes the Lord has for their lives.
  • For the Word of God to continue to have free reign and touch the hearts of the people in the villages, settlements and schools
  • For the Lord to make a way to get affordable bibles into the hands of the believers.
  • For the new believers in the remote villages to come together and read the Word of God until a Pastor is sent to oversee the church.
  • For the families of the new believers who are not quite there yet, to arrive quickly and receive Jesus as Lord and Savior
  • For the new believers to stand firm in their new faith as they endure persecution for their decision for Christ
  • For the needs of the people to be met, spirit, soul and body, according to the riches and glory in Christ Jesus
  • For the Supply I need in prayer and support to finish this assignment
  • For the Continued protection of all that concerns me.. Whether here in Fiji or other parts of the World.. Covered by the blood and garrisoned about with the Heavenly Host

    • Thanks and Praise
    Please take a moment to thank and praise God for what He’s done, doing and still has for me to do here. For all those who He’s walked into my life that I’ve been so graced with, I’m thankful for lasting friendships, opened doors that have allowed me to go places and sets the stage for future ministry. More to come on that later. But I give thanks and praise from a grateful heart.

    Happy Birthday to my Friend!

    You’re one of a kind…to be tresured that is for sure. I’m sorry I’m not there for the dinner in person, but know that I’m eating cake and ice cream in celebration here. I believe that your night was above and beyond what you could have asked for…. Minus having me there…. I will make up for it upon my return! I miss you.

    Application of Missionary Rule number 1

    Posted on by

    I’m standing in awe of what He has been doing. For me, this has been a press because the original reason I was invited down to Fiji for, the Youth Crusades have been put on hold. For the exact reason, I really don’t know, but they are not happening as originally planned. So what did I do???? For those of you who don’t know, I’ve created a missionary handbook of rules and applied:

    Missionary Rule # 1, “When things don’t go as expected, don’t lower your expectations on the Lord’s ability to act….”
    Not too complicated, just following the peace in my heart. But it still requires prayer to maintain that peace.

    The question is “Youth crusades, should they be the way man desires or the way the Lord has planned?”
    The answer is, the Lord is having HIS Youth Crusades.

    The Lord’s Youth Crusades revealed: the 2008 School session began just before I arrived back here. So, how delighted were the teachers and students that here I was back so soon after I departed in fall. For me, it is a sheer gift that I’m allowed in to minister in the Primary School. As the opportunity to deposit the love and plans and purposes of God in their hearts is one that I do not take lightly.

    I have been in school not only teaching the Scripture Lessons, but also Math, Science, History, Music and English ~ I’m a “full time” teacher. It is priceless, as I am able to really work with some of the children, especially the ones who were struggling on subjects, and encourage them. It is my joy and delight to be able to pray over the children who are struggling at the teachers desk which is in the front of the classroom. The other students, regardless of what their “religious” background, say “amen” to my prayers and encourage those who struggle to come up for prayer too. It is something that would be wonderful to have back in the American Schools. In one particular class, I started to think that the students “struggled” just to come up and get prayer. Precious….

    The Lord also opened up the door to the Secondary School (High School) for me to teach the Religious Education classes. The headmaster there is new and so he asked me why I had not been there the two previous years. I told him, really, I believe it is the timing of the Lord. Now is the time. There are 20 classes and another 1000 students that I have been requested to come and teach. For the first round, I’ve taught the Form 7 (Seniors) three times. Prayer, finding out the Plans and Purposes for your life, and following the dreams in your heart have been the topics. They are so full of questions and it is wonderful to see the Holy Spirit make Himself known to the students. I had four additional classes right before we went into a two week block break. I will be heading back to school at the beginning of next week and will have a full teaching schedule.

    The path walked….

    Ok… here it is, what I have walked through to get to the destinations.. Some water is ground run off, not going to think of what is running off… but big rains run down the mountains and flood the plains.. Makes trekking a true adventure for this shoe princess. Those indoor shoes would never make it here!

    Paths to the lost….

    Down to the river Knee deep? run off

    although this picture is from another adventure, this is what my feet look like from some of these treks. They joke with me about having “Fijian / Indian” feet after my walks. Beautiful are the feet of those who share the gospel and bring glad tidings of peace.
