Cast down, but not destroyed

I thank the Lord that His power is made perfect in weakness. It is our part to trust Him when troubles and set backs surround us. Here is the current report from "the firing line" in Makindu:

We were not able to pay this month's rent for the Center. We pay in advance. We have been closed out and needed to remove our equipment right away to avoid a debt that would force us to lose every thing. Until we build on our new property, we have to discontinue the center's planned activities and continue to care for the orphans in their own residences, whenever possible, and to do any training in the open on our own property. However, the Dear Lord's presence is real and we are not in any way disappointed, knowing that all things work for the good of God's children. His comforting presence is just wonderful. His being with Stephen even at death point is a real encouraging reminder to us. Praise the Lord who promised that He will never leave nor forsake us.

Yes, amen.
Jeremiah 50:34
