HAPPY FATHERS’ DAY
TO GOD OUR FATHER
from whom every family on earth derives it’s name and image
(EPH 3:15)

  • Thank You, God: You are compassionate and pity us and do not treat us as our sins deserve but you remember our weaknesses (Psalm 103).
  • Thank You for creating us and all the cosmos, and loving all you made so much you sent your own and only Son to save us back to you so we would not be condemned (John 3:17-17).
  • Thank you for life each morning, daily bread, for protection during the day and rest at night (Psalm 90 and 91).
  • Thank You for the church, for friends, for the grace mediated from one member to another, for authority and gifts and spiritual community and family.
  • Thank you for grace and for mercy and for peace.
  • Thank you for your word.
  • Thank you for Holy Spirit.

Happy Father’s Day to the best Dad-the perfect heavenly Father who gives good gifts to his children (Luke 11).

This Sunday AM the team is doing two services in Moses’ father’s church which makes 26 ministry times in nine days—that’s more than the US tour.

The response was amazing—people wanted prayer and came right away. They opened so deeply and quickly that all the team has grown in ministry experience and faith.

We wish that the hunger here would be seen in us at home. Of course the culture here is decaying visibly—I can see it is worse in just three years since last here (but it is in US as well). Lesbianism and sexual sin by teenagers is progressing rapidly. Humanism is rotting the will and character and moral fiber of family and government and economy. America exported much of this decay to countries like Costa Rica. We have a responsibility to turn to God, repent, humble ourselves and bring our own families and nation under God’s rule instead of our own wills. And we owe the nations the kingdom gospel.

The team has worked harder by God’s grace than I have ever seen a group do. I wish I could bring us all into this kind of experience, or like Abigail, or youth mission etc… Why NOT?
