The Battle

I miss all the luxuries of living in America (YES LUXURIES!!!) You are so fortunate to be in the U.S. where everything is at your fingertips. A place where witch doctors and demon possession are only things you talk about, NOT EVERYDAY occurrences. Where "black magic" is common and powerful! It's sink or swim here! A constant battle against the current of a very prevalent evil. For the people living here, choosing God means to be completely cut off from family and probably public discrimination. To choose not to follow God means to live in extreme darkness! (Yes, many of the Christian here WERE demon possessed!) For me, it;s still sink or swim. We are constantly under attack here! To stray even one step from God would mean ruin. We constantly seek strength from God in prayer and through the scriptures. I know this is exactly where God wants me! I can't imagine being anywhere else. I am needed here. a vital part of the team. I am teaching and preaching and sharing and even singing to the people here! But I am also learning SOOOOOOOOOO much! I know this was God's timing and He wants me here! However, do not think for one moment that this is easy! This is my GREATEST challenge! Everyday is a battle, everyday filled with unexpectedness. We must be constantly alert to what God is doing and on guard against what satan is attempting! I LOVE being here! & working so hard for something I know is so worth it! As I write this, I cannot help but smile, for God has filled my heart with peace.
