Above: Julika (seated center) with daughter Mani on left and our teammate Miki on the right. We praise God for his grace in extending Julika’s life with us as she struggled with cancer last year. We spent time together on Monday praying for our Summer VBS and laying down initial plans. VBS has been effective in establishing a good reputation for our church in our town, connecting with children and parents from surrounding villages, and sewing seeds to the next generation. We are already excited about the theme of prayer for this summer’s VBS.

WEDNESDAY DISCIPLESHIP

Church member Eszti (3 children and one on the way) shared about how God has been encouraging her to trust in Him in tough financial problems. She shared the following verses that God led her to throughout the week:

“Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and jdo not lean on your own understanding.” — Proverbs 3:5

“Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father.  But even the hairs of your head are all numbered.  31Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.”  — Matthew 10:30-31

“Therefore I tell you, do not be anxious about your life, what you will eat or what you will drink, nor about your body, what you will put on. Is not life more than food, and the body more than clothing?  Look at the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?” — Matthew 6:25-26

There are many in our church that are affected by the recent troubles with the economy. People are getting laid off, and since businesses are also cutting back, it is difficult to find work. Please pray for our members who are struggling financially.
