| GDT Newsletter... |
Had to come to email to help Paula send out the newsletter I wrote up for GDT Alliance and thought I would share with you all - really has no details to speak of, but PRAY for us here in MIJUCO! I am doing well, but this time has been very stretching and I know that my heart has changed, and the character of Christ has been ground into me a little bit more... daily we walk towards Christ - pray that we would all have the strength and desire to keep on.
"Por mucho tiempo busque una razón de vivir... tu reino vino en mi vida, y ahora vivo para ti..." (For a long time I looked for a reason to live... your Kingdom came into my life and now I live for you...) This song has been one that we have often sung in our programs here in rural Velez, Colombia. The lyrics have been words that we’ve longed for those listening to understand and take hold of for themselves. It has been in our hoping this for others that the words of this song are becoming real in the lives of us 13 participants and 2 leaders as we serve and reach out to a largely unreached community and area. Within the team, barriers of disunity, distrust and resistance to the Holy Spirit are being broken before the Kingdom of God – that as we go out and tell of Christ and the freedom to be found at the Cross, that our lives would do the talking. Our prayer is that Christ’s light within us would be a beacon from the mountains around us, and especially that the love and joy we have for one another would be evident to the burdened and weary who come to our prgrams and receive our visits and prayers. As participants and leaders alike, we have sought for reasons to live and have experienced the joy of the Kingdom in our own lives. Now we wish to live for God – preaching His love and salvation to those hardened by a tough life in the mountains of Colombia. |

The success of love is in the loving - it is not in the result of loving. Of course it is natural in love to want the best for the other person, but whether it turns out that way or not does not determine the value of what we have done.
