Psalm 105:1-4
"Oh give thanks to the Lord,"
God is doing big things!
A couple of months ago we were talking to JW's. Yup, they're here in Slovenia too. One thing they asked as we told them about our faith in the Jesus, "why don't you go door-to-door like us?"
I admire them for this, though they are trying to convince people into a lie, which I hate. They do this door-to-door-evangelizing very well.
"call upon His name;"
So I started praying, "God help us go door-to-door for You and reach out with more bold faith and passion."
God answered this prayer so quickly!!!!
The next month the Dolenski List, a regional Newspaper, asked if they could come over, interview us and write our story in it! (See article below)
"Make known His deeds among the peoples."
Door-to-door... here we go!
I know most everyone can't understand what this article says, but it basically tells the path that God directed us to get us to Slovenia. God did some really amazing things to point us to Slovenia and direct our steps!!! :) We could feel God really leading us through the interview. It was amazing!
At the end of the interview, the lady said, "Wow, I can see that Slovenia was clearly your destiny." Then she asked if she could write another article more on what we do here! Well, coming to Slovenia is not quite our destiny, because I think of destiny more of where you end up at the end of your life (Heaven or Hell?), but coming here is a part of God's plan for sure.
The really amazing thing, to write an article that includes Evangelical Protestant Christianity, probably is not the most popular thing this Newspaper could've written about. heeheehee :) What they are more interested in is, "Why in the world would American's come to Kocevje, Slovenia of all places???"
That's a strange concept. The way we answered that question... well clearly God brought us here... and so we told the story :) Click here if you want to read the story.....---..... Here's more.
Yesterday an add on the radio for the Newspaper announced this article as a selling point! How many people will read this?, we don't know, but we are praying! Would you pray with us?
Less than 1% know Jesus as their personal Savior. People don't talk freely about Jesus here, partly because people don't know about Him. You are strange if you say very simple things like:
I'll pray for you.
Do you read your Bible?
God bless you.
"Sing to Him, sing praises to Him;
Glory in His holy name;"
Our prayer is that when people read this article, they will see not only that we are called to Slovenia, but that more kids will come to youth group, that families will start attending church, but most importantly, that they will see that God is real and He loves them and that they would give their life to serve Him. "Let the heart of those who seek the Lord be glad."
Psalm 105:1-4
"Oh give thanks to the Lord,
call upon His name;
Make known His deeds among the peoples.
Sing to Him, sing praises to Him;
Glory in His holy name;
Let the heart of those who seek the Lord be glad.
Seek the Lord and His strength;
Seek His face continually."
