This is my guiding scripture for the next 40 days as I prepare to go on my 2nd Missions trip to Uganda, Africa on August 1, 2009.
Isaiah 41:10-11 "
Fear not, for I am with you; Be not dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you, Yes, I will help you, I will uphold you with My righteous right hand. "Behold, all those who were incensed against you Shall be ashamed and disgraced; They shall be as nothing, And those who strive with you shall perish." This scripture was given to me 3 times in the last couple of months and it has been established in me that God is faithful to do what He says He will do. Thank you to my Pastor, Elder Percival W. Hye, Sr. www.outcastministries.net, Edith in Uganda and Robert Hollingsworth on LIBAW. I hear what the Spirit is saying to the Church.
It seems I am compelled to share this awesome journey and the amazing things God is about to do for His people, His Kingdom and ultimately for HIS GLORY!
Approximately 40 days from now I will take our first group of Volunteer Ambassadors on my 2nd Missions trip to Uganda and my 3rd trip to Africa. This was a request of our Partner in Africa Pastor George W. Nsamba of Agape Community Ministries (ACM) and Agape Education Centre (AEC) in Mateete, Uganda almost a year ago to-date. He invited me to come to Africa to stand on the land, and promised me that my life would never be the same - it was true. Now, I am to bring others who will have the same experience - people willing to work for the Kingdom. We will continue this process until the people of Agape Community Ministries have seen the fully manifested provision of the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob and their lives as well as their muslim community is literally transformed by the power, provision and love of Jesus Christ - amen!
This is a walk of faith and it is not for the faint at heart. You're invited to walk with me or let's walk together on our respective journeys. My hope is that this blog will strengthen you in your endeavor to submit to God's plan, obey His Word and His unctionings and accomplish what he destined for you to do. Many of you will be doing your own thing, but some of you will be drawn to this project. In anticipation of that I look forward to making your acquaintance and building the Kingdom of God in Earth as it is in Heaven, together.
Now, if you feel the urge to get involved in some way pick up the phone and call me at 760-576-7925 cause honey your help, support and input is already a day late. (smile)
I am positioned to believe God for everything we need, trust His Word and stand on His promises. He has already done so many great things in my life, but I know they don't compare to what He's about to do. In Matthew 6:33 He said, "
Seek first the Kingdom of God and all His righteosness, and all these things shall be added to you." Then in Matthew 18:19 He said, "if two of you agree on earth concerning ANYTHING that they ask, it WILL be done for them by My Father in heaven. Oh my, that is so exciting to me. We've been tending to His business and letting Him tend to ours and we've touched and agreed almost every Monday since January. Now, God's gonna show up and show out - you watch.
Stay tuned because there is so much I have yet to share...
In His Name, For His Glory,
Vivian - God's Joyful Servant
PRAYER REQUEST: Please stand in agreement with us for the airfare for 4 people to Entebbe, Uganda for August 1-15, 2009 (all adults) within the next 10 days. We are open to any ideas you might have. Also, if you know someone who would underwrite the costs of these tickets it is tax-deductible. Got a friend who can take us over on their plane? Do you or someone you know have a generous enough company that would be willing to purchase the tickets for us through their travel department? And, of course, donations in any amount are needed and appreciated.
