Abundant Blessings

As the time was quickly approaching for Kossi to return to the United States from Togo, we were still a couple thousand dollars short on being able to finish the purchase of the land.  It was important to have the land deal completed before his return because we did not know how long the extremely low price would remain in effect. 

We are thrilled to share that once again, God has provided.  A dear couple from Indiana who came to Bartlesville last summer to volunteer for Walk this Way, met Kossi and knew that God had called them to partner with him someday in Africa.  They wrote an extremely generous check that put us above and well beyond what we needed to finish the land purchase.  Now, we will also have the necessary funds to get the land drawn up and install some water wells at strategic locations for the surrounding villages who currently do not have a clean water source.

We are so thankful and praise God for His work, His Spirit and His people who were created to do good works, to bring aid to the poor and needy, and to bring the good news of Jesus to those who have yet to hear.  We praise His name for the obedience of His people and for His revelation that the abundance of financial blessings is given to us so we may use it to further His kingdom and to bring glory to His name.  We are so thankful for the partnership we have with lovers of God, those who love God more than this world and will die to worldly passions and sacrifice material gain for eternal treasures in heaven!!  We are thankful and praise His name in advance for the work that will be done in Togo and for the souls who will be brought into the Kingdom because of the faithfulness of His people.

Father, continue the good work You have began in Togo.  Father, guide us by Your Spirit and protect us from the evil one who would love to distract us from your work.  Father, help us to stay focused on your purposes and your will!  Father, soften and prepare the hearts of the Togolese;  provide fertile soil for the seeds of your word to be planted and water those seeds through your Spirit in order to raise up a generation of Christ followers in Togo. 

In Jesus name. . .  .amen!

"So Jesus also suffered outside the gate in order to sanctify the people through his own blood. Therefore let us go to him outside the camp and bear the reproach he endured. For here we have no lasting city, but we seek the city that is to come. Through him then let us continually offer up a sacrifice of praise to God, that is, the fruit of lips that acknowledge his name.  Do not neglect to do good and to share what you have, for such sacrifices are pleasing to God."  Hebrews 13:12-16
