Just a Quick One

Hello all! Thanks for all the continued prayers. Just a quick note to tell you how encouraging God is! He is always sweeping through with rays of light to brighten the difficult places. I could list more prayer requests, but I will instead give all praise to the One who already knows, and has an answer to each thing. Oh, but I do have one prayer: PLEASE PRAY THAT THE BIBLE STUDY WILL CONTINUE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! The kids love it, they are benefiting and changing...but these Germans are stubborn and complain every time that we should put studies first. I understand that homework is important. I always did my homework after supper. But this Bible study is not forever and if a child doesn't have the hope of Christ in them, what will even motivate them to do well in school? If they haven't found worth, then how will they believe they can even make it? They laughed in my face today when I explained the importance of God, but really they laughed in God's face and it hurt! I was near tears. But you know what? We just have to pray for them. They grew up in Berlin and through the war! Yikes! You know it must've been hardening to be there. And now they think God is worthless. They are very harsh and my heart hurts, but mostly for them. Where will they be when they die? But I pray that by our actions they see that God is love and loves them and is the reason they live and move and have their being! Oops, so much for this being short!
But anyway, they boast of donations they and other Germans have given and demand that studies go first, not a bible study. I am afraid that Anja's step-father will give in because he doesn't want to lose their donations. But no! He mustn't! And I don't think he will but still I get nervous. Again it always comes back to the love God has for these kids and He wants them to know it! And understand it and believe it!

Anyway, I just wanted to tell Jenni W. something: I resent the email. Maybe check your junk box because it is the right adress and it even gets put into my sent items box after I send it. So I donno! And thanks!!!!! I got the box! The card for me was a treasure! The balls will be great! And so far the dvd's are being stinkers because they say US is region 1 and South Africa is region 2 and won't play. But I am going to try on one of the ancient lab tops that were donated from the us and see. I really want to see the dvd's!
Okay I love you all! peace, amanda
