short and sweet from the city

today was a full day spent with really great people who call the City their home. they use their passions and skills in some really cool ways. we will tell you more about these folks in person. during the late afternoon the group prayer walked along the river. we spent the evening at the home of one of our American friends. we laughed and shared about our lives and they told us about their purpose here in the City. on the way home we stopped in a local shop for a late bite to eat. Q12 remember the olive sandwich? the guy still works there! : )

we had a great time debriefing our day but we're ready to crash. short and sweet tongiht. we are doing well thanks for continuing the journey.

Hello all -

Late to the comment-board, but have been and will continue to be praying for you!

I was filled with a kind of angst in hearing about your focus on Philippians, and have since made it my prayer that you might be able to empathize with Paul: to count everything as loss in order that you might gain Christ, and know the power of him and his resurrection (Chapter 3). I hope that this phase of your greater "quest" will serve as a springboard into deeper relationship with, and greater revelation of the God of the nations.

Best!

Dear Moriah,

Have you taught everyone in the City butt charades yet? If not, you should. Just sayin. :)

Hope you're enjoying your trip. Praying for you always.

Chuck

P.S. Have fun explaining butt charades to your team now. :P

"The prayer of a righteous person has great power as it is working. Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth. Then he prayed again, and heaven gave rain, and the earth bore its fruit."


You're prayers for the people of the City are not in vain. Your prayers have great power as they are working...God is so good to let us take a part in His Global work!! We're praying for you guys, finish strong!!

Love,

Katy & Ademi Mirabal
