... because my life will never end... the glory of the LORD will never end... the trials and hardships in an un-unified world are just getting worse... and so I caught myself writing a blog that I could not find the words to finish, so here are the words the LORD spoke so far...

It has only been a month since we have been here in Africa... not even yet. It has been a bit more than that since we all have started to make this journey first to GA and then to here. I want to say that I have been exghausted, and yet joyful in how the power of the LORD has been able to bring me to and through so much. All of the things that have exghausted me only did so after I was able to do the work that the LORD asked me to do. Even with exghaustion, I was relieved.

It seems such a short time, one month, that we have been here, but in just half of that time we will be splitting up into our permaneant teams. THese are the small teams we will be with in the different locations we have here in Africa....Kenya, Jeffreys Bay, Swaziland, and here at Alabanza. I have found one location that GOD has grown my heart fond of, at that is Escom, a township... really, its shacks but people are seemingly sustained here, but with the very least.

It is here that I have had the most ability to reach out to people and to understand the people and their culture. It is so hard for me to minister to these people, but I take the challenge joyfully. It is different when I have witnessed to people who are Islamic or Hindu. Usually it seems a bit easy once you begin to dig deeper into their hearts, to turn them from their false beleifs and start them fresh and anew into Christianity. However, here, people know Christianity. They are all corrupted about it though. Some know scripture so well that I feel I need to rejoice, however I am stopped of all anticipation to do this when I hear of the corruption. The corruption is the dark side that breathes into the Christian beliefs here. They are ancestoral customs, witchcract, and demonic influence that take precidence over Christian followings. Its an emptying experience, having to give so much into the hearts and lives of those you minister to here. There is a genuine need for pure love from GOD and patient endurance. There fight is already won, for Jesus conquered Satan when he died on the cross, and yet as Romans 8 tells us, we are more than conquerers. We are sons and daughters. We are brothers and sisters. We are prophets and discples. We are the priesthood and the church. We are the future and the promise of tomorrow. GOD our Father has made us worthy of being these things. So although Satan was conquered, the batle remains in the Spiritual realm. We are still fighting sin and temptation, and fighting for the salvation of our brothers and sisters that has already been rendered by the sacrafice made on the cross.... There is so much responsibility yet to continue on forward in the victory that the LORD gave us. There is so much work to be done and brothers and sisters of Christ. There is so much work that I have called on the LORD to use me for, as his daughter. The LORD is fighting for us, and I know this. He is going to reign victorious, but we must fight to b
