Dr. Jesse duplantis came to Springfield Monday night. He is one of my favorite preachers. We were able to set up a booth at the event. Thanks Pastor Kevin!! We had a few people sign up for our newsletter. I was a little discouraged though at the amount of interest. We were packing up to leave after the event was over when my pastor came up to me and says, "someone wants to meet you." No it wasn't Jesse Duplantis. He had to leave because they were trying to beat the snow storm that was about to hit. It was however one of his staff. She prayed for Jennifer and I and spoke some words from the Lord over us. It was much needed encouragement. She gave us her card and wanted us to keep in touch with her. come to find out, she has had a heart for Russia for aawhile now. I feel like if that was the only person God wanted us to meet up with there...then I'm cool with that.

Why do I find it hard to trust God at times. I feel like I always need a reminder from him that everything is going to be alright. He has told us time and time again that He has everything under control but I let myself be talked into believing that things are just going to fall apart or something. I wish I wasn't so thick headed about this. He has never let me down in the past so why would He start now.

Psalm 56:3
When I am afraid, I will trust in you.

We were able to speak at a local church this last weekend and it went great. We had a businessman donate the printing and mailing of all of our newsletters when we leave. That's awesome because I was just thinking about that the other day and wondering how we were going to be able to handle that. God is awesome. He's putting it all together for us. Just keep the visa process lifted up in your prayers.
