I’m really blessed. I don’t have many needs. When I watch the web streams from MorningStar Ministries showing the amazing healings that have been taking place for the last few months, I think, I don’t need any healing of significance. There is nothing that hurts regularly & nothing that doesn’t work like it should, except I’ve been near-sighted for 80+% of my life. I even have a good head of hair & all my teeth, though a little less hair than when I was younger.
But we all need prayer for many things & we all have some big hindrance to our deepest desires. My desire to make many disciples is not hindered by lack of workers, or lack of interest in 3rd world countries, or lack of a plan that is proven to work very effectively. But it’s hard to train willing workers when they can’t afford phones or email or travel expenses to come & be taught. & it’s hard to teach them when I can’t afford to leave my business that supports all of us.
But it’s through much tribulation that we enter the kingdom & for the silver refiner to see His reflection it must be heated 7 times. I do have really effective methods of earning money on two continents. But in Africa selling electronics requires capital to have things to sell, & in the USA my heating & cooling business works best when I am here, away from doing the desire of my heart which is to train leaders the way that Jesus did.
We have notebook computer customers chomping at the bit, in Tanzania, where there is no customs on any computer products, but so far I haven’t had the funds to send anything lately except the self-amplified speakers I found in my house which we’ll use for the Jesus Video with the projector we bought with donations back when we were getting more.
I have gotten three large donations which were invested mostly in Burundi business & ministry, which helped us a great deal to grow to over 1,000 house churches from about 100 in one year, but that economy has crashed along with all our businesses, even though we got two-four times back all that we invested.
So, I need prayer for money. Really I can earn more in a day than I’ve ever gotten in a donation, except from my Dad who gave us $4,000 a long time ago to buy a bus for hire. So pray for my HVAC business to sell more jobs, so I can invest in our profitable electronics sales in Africa.
The important things have always gotten done & I’m really happy that I just finished a big job that will pay more than my RT ticket Sep 10-Oct 15. But please pray for my business income, because our needs are much greater than most of you will decide to give, although I do use donations for fruitful ministry expenses, like the Jesus Video, & travel expenses for my African partners who are effective teachers. But I use my business income for my own travel & to invest in ministry-supporting business in Africa.
& pray for my wife & wisdom for me, because she has been so love-sick that she spent the last three out of four days in the hospital & the doctors said she is just love-sick. & pray that hindrances to her Visa will be taken away, so I can have her partnership for fruitful ministry & be able to stay here longer when needed to earn money instead of me spending the money to travel to prevent her from dying of love-sickness.
There are, of course, benefits, to being apart, like we don’t take each other for granted, & I have more time for getting lots of things done. But I think my need for a partner outweighs the benefits, since I sleep less than my wife & can still keep my morning disciplines of memorizing scripture while I run & watching web-streams while I exercise inside.
I am thankful that God has helped me peacefully keep working at my goals &, after thinking, I think my greatest recent accomplishments on this “visit” to the USA other than earning money, have been that I have rememorized the first three chapters of revelations & have finished the 7th letter to the churches yesterday while I matched my record time this last year running 3 miles in 26 minutes 10-11 seconds & finished all the MorningStar applications (hopefully approved for future benefit). I also supervised some more home improvement (only 2 hrs), did a service call ($188) & did two bids, resulting in one small furnace install to do yesterday in only 4-5 hrs, I think.
So pray for my business & me to be a wise husband, & big or small donations would help, too. In Uganda we lack the $50/mo for August to feed about 80 orphans one day per week as we planned, so they are not getting that one meal per week that they got in June & July. I’ve already loaned $500 of my personal money to the ministry account, but naturally I need to support my wife & try to save up money to at least get the right to see my youngest daughter that was lost when her stepfather claimed I was severely mentally ill, with no truthful testimony.
But I did succeed at getting her brother’s email address &, my daughter, Mercy enjoyed the photos I sent to her, & will enjoy the movie DVDs I’m having Grace make & send to her, like “The Sound of Music”, “Ben Hur”, “The 10 Commandments” & “Princess Bride”. We do have a good relationship by phone.
Thanks for you interest, prayers, & help!
