For the love of Christ controls us, because we have concluded this: that one has died for all, therefore all have died; and he died for all, that those who live might no longer live for themselves but for him who for their sake died and was raised. 2 Corinthians 5:14-15
God's hand has been so present since we got back to Trek-X in January. First Priority at Overton High is really taking off. The students are eager to learn about the Lord. And we have staff who are eager to help out as well. We are just awaiting approval to meet on campus and the club will officially begin! Pray for favor at Overton. We've also been planning lessons with our Burmese friends and getting to share Christ with them. We are teaching them both spiritual disciplines and practical life skills. Pray for these sweet friends, especially Lulu and Mun. They have such a burden and a love for the people of their culture. Also pray for Myra. She is an older Burmese lady who came to our last Saturday meeting. She is Buddhist and certainly does not see her need for a Savior. Pray for the eyes of her heart to be opened. This video was taken one Saturday after we had finished sharing with about 20 people. We stayed to hang out with a few of them while they practiced worship songs for their church. Excuse the video quality :)
The Lord has opened another door for us in the Burmese community. We were able to "adopt" a refugee family. They have been in America now for almost 2 weeks. As we are still getting to know them (and working through language barriers), we are praying for God to give us opportunities to love on them in hopes that we will build relationships and eventually get to share the Good News of Jesus with them! Please pray for this family as they assimilate into American culture. We already love them and can't wait to see what the Lord does in their lives.
Meet our family...
MAY THE LOVE OF CHRIST CONTROL US
2 Corinthians 5:14-15
