Malia and I had the privilege to lead our church in prayer over the rag blankets that were to be sent to Mali, Africa on May 21st. We had blankets on the tables where the congregation sat. We invited them to lay their hands on the blanket, to consider the individual woman who would receive the blanket and her family.
As I looked out over the congregation (the Church)I saw whole families bowing their heads in prayer, hands laid on blankets and we heard the low murmuring of individuals praying. We lifted up the women's physical and spiritual needs. It was awesome!! There was the presence of the Holy Spirit in that place.
Later that week 32 blankets were loaded on to a large cargo container which is headed to Mali. It should arrive sometime in August.
Rod, Malia and I had the opportunity to attend a dinner sponsored by our church, Christ Community Church. The event was in honor of the doctors, nurses and staff of the Koutiala Women and Children's Hospital. It was such a blessing to meet such dedicated people, people who love the Lord and are walking in obedience. These missionaries spoke of doors opening in Mali to the gospel. It is so exciting to be a small part of what is going on in Koutiala, Mali.
Thank You Jesus for what you are already doing and what you are going to do. Amen.
