I've spent this past week at a Global Missions Conference in Spartanburg, SC, and have loved meeting missionaries from all over the world. I am so thankful for the work they are doing, and also thankful for the work God has called me to right here in the United States.
I love ministering to a variety of people groups as God brings them to our towns and neighborhoods. I'm really excited about a new ministry opportunity and want to share this with you...please be praying about it with me!
This next year, 100 Bhutanese refugee families will be placed in the Madison, WI area. I found that out several weeks ago and it has been heavy on my heart that we, God's people, need to respond to this need. So I was all the more excited to meet someone here in Spartanburg who has been working with the Bhutanese in Atlanta, GA. He was able to tell me more about their customs and culture, and share with me a CD with Bible Stories in their native language, Nepali Bhutan. What are the odds of that??
I had at the top of my to-do list to call the organization that is placing these families, and as I opened my email this morning I found several emails from a pastor in the Chicago area who is ministering to Bhutanese in that area and was interested in finding out how he can be involved in Madison.
So too many coincidences to be coincidental:-)
Pray with me that God's people will respond and that we will minister to these families: physically, emotionally, and spiritually!
