August 1st Update

Hey everyone just wanted to let you know how last night went and where today is headed! Its saturday morning here in Kenya, and we are encouraged by your prayers and God's faithfulness. Last night we watched the Chronicles of Narnia, Sarah loved it and was picking up the symbolism in it which lead to some good conversation after the movie. We spoke about what believed was going on inside of her, we talked about where she was in regards to Islam vs. Christianitity, and we shared with her that our greatest desire was to bring her into a loving relationship with the Lord, and through Him bring healing to her as well. She wants to be free, but she also confessed to not knowing enough about Islam or Christianity to make a decision but that she wants to know more. When asked what was keeping her from putting her faith in Christ she responded that she had many questions but that when she tries to ask us her mind goes blank so we took the oppurtunity to pray for clarity and prayed against confusion. Soon after she began to share that she wanted to know how both religions "started" where the sacred books came from, what is the end of theetc. We went to bed soon after because we were all tired and prayed for a peaceful night and protection. We woke up the next morning to Sarah saying she slept through the whole night and only woke up once to the thought " I want to know more about Jesus." We had posted verses up on the walls around the room, and some at the heads of the bed, and she told us that when she woke up she automatically turned to read the one by her, and that she really liked it, and wanted to know Jesus today. So today we are going to be going through the story of salvation from creation to resurrection to Revelation. Please pray again for her salvation, for clarity of the gospel presentation, and for healing. Love you all! Thank you for your prayers and encouragement.

  1. First of all, thank you for updating. Sarah, y'all involved, and this situation have been among the top things on my mind as of late. This is a most gladdening and encouraging post for we (the readers) as much as it is for y'all over yonder. I, at least, am most happy for this positive turn of events for Sarah and that she is ready and willing to learn about our Father's loving and compassionate character. Of course I shall pray for her, y'all, and the situation that God's hand would be upon this time and for peace and understanding.

    Thank you again for the update, Bethany and Good Charlotte.

  2. Thanks for the update. I, too, can't seem to stop thinking about Sarah, you guys, and this situation, as of late. I am so glad to hear that Sarah is getting better and that you guys are there to guide her as she seeks to know our God better. I am continuously praying for her as well as all of you. May God continue to grant all of you strength, wisdom, and guidance in these situations.
