As my dear friend said, such a long distance to travel for such a short time of pleasure…..

I had a box shipped here with some things for ministry and I needed a different pair of shoes. No comments on that one;). Anyway, the box arrived and I was so excited about having a footwear change and my feet were so happy to be reunited with the shoes that arrived.

I went to visit to my neighbor and since all shoes here are “outdoor” shoes, I had taken off my shoes and left them outside. Well, someone decided to take my shoes.

Due to the fact that there has been a higher crime rate here, my neighbor called the police, yep, the police for my shoes! Anyway, they took the report on my missing shoes, and as funny as it sounds, even a detailed description of them. The policemen (2) of them who came to take the missing “sole” report are now found “souls” in the kingdom of God. If I have to be temporarily “separated” from my “soles” (shoes) to be united with these two souls in heaven, worth it.

My feet were so sad because they were only reunited for a few days….
My prayers are for the person to be so convicted as they TRY to wear the shoes, they need to return them and receive Jesus as their Lord and Savior.
And since thet belong to my feel and my feet are anointed, no one else can wear my shoes. They must come back ~ in Jesus name!!!

When I arrived here in Fiji, I received a number of calls from a lady named Poonam. She started off the calling at 3:00am. She had found my phone number in her reciently purchased cell phone and wanted to know who I was. I explained to her that my phone number was a brand new number, so I honestly don’t know how she got it. She asked where I was from and when I said United States, she panicked about making an International Call. I told her no, I’m here in Fiji. Just an American.

Well, she really wanted to be friends and would call asking me if I would come out to her house in the Valley. See, she was a Christian who married a Hindu man (arranged marriage) and was not allowed to practice Christianity anymore. Finding places here is not the easiest thing to do, so I told her that we could pray for her entire family (Husband and inlaws) to become Christians and if the Lord wanted us to meet, He’d lead me to her house. Prayed and Agreed in the Matchless name of Jesus.

Jordan and I went into the Valley to minister in a village called Nasavatavu. We had spent the day ministering to the Indian community and sharing the good news. As we approached the last house, there were three people sitting at the bottom of the hill. Two gentlemen and one lady. Jordan spoke in Hindi and the lady led us up to the main house on the hill.

There were two other ladies at the house. I start to share with them and ask their names, Preti, mother in law, and Poonam. I said hold on… Picked up my cell phone and dialed the number… RING RING RING… went her cell phone. I smiled and said, Here you have your answer to prayer. God brought me to your house to pray with your family and meet you in person. It truly was a glorious day. The entire family, including her husband was so overwhelmed that the Lord had sent me, they received Jesus.

Again, proving to all, He CARES enought to answer ALL of your Prayers!

This week I’m out of school as I’ll be ministering in the interior and valley. Today it was filling the believers with the Holy Spirit (House calls) and then some salvations on the way to and from All wonderful!!!!!

I came back “home” and went for a walk on the beach at sunset to pray and praise the Lord. On my way back, there is a young boy named Mohammad (now a Christian) who is in Class 7r/j that I have been doing devotionals for over the past three weeks. He called my name and I went over to him. He said “You were not in school today”. I said “you’re right, I’m out this entire week.” I asked him who did the devotional today?

His response touched my heart.. He said “No one” but the entire class sang a song and prayed. I asked what they sang and he told me “I’ve got the Holy Ghost and Fire.” The song is one of the Spirit inspired songs that I was given and have taught the children.

It talks about having the Holy Ghost and fire and what we are to do…. So for the entire class to sing the song when I’m not there is wonderful. It shows that the Spirit is truly leading the class and they are following Him!!! Praise the Lord. Just follow the Spirit.

I am having a bible study with my caretakers wife, Nelishni. She had prayed with me earlier to receive Jesus, but she was still following after some Hindu gods. Nelishni and her husband really desire to have a child and have not been able to conceive. She knows that Jesus is the healer and she’ll have a baby.. If only she can grab on and hold on. So today, after literally starting in Genesis, she made the decision to “fully follow Christ.”

I have a getting the grips of the basics faith book that now has her name on it, and as we did chapter 1, I realized that she did not know how God created man. She had never heard the opening line of the bible. We had to start with the very beginning before we could even go to the redemption part.

I tell you , this was a sweet “first” discipleship/bible study I’ve had. So the bible study lasted almost 3 hours. End the end, she acknowledged that Jesus was the only Way and Truth. We even talked about removing all the idols from her house because God is a jealous God. I told her she had to do it. I said, I know it is a big change, but You’re a new person today.

She smiled big. She took the study book with her and will come back to complete the rest of the lessons over the rest of the time I’m here. She told me that when I leave, she’ll need a huge bucket to catch all the tears she’ll be crying. Sweet!

The following was given to Class 7r/j during our devotional time. It was a melody put into my heart and then words were given as we went through the devotions on what having an Excellent Spirit can do….

The children then added to it as we continued to build with the words the Lord put in their hearts as we sang.
