Blessings from Egypt


Wonderful Egyptian friends wished us safe travels as we left the YWAM compound to return to Holland on Friday. We had just finished the morning with a very moving worship time together before an altar the students had constructed. It was there that we realized afresh that worship is much more than singing songs - it was giving our hearts to God, giving Him the highest place.
Two young men showed their love for God by washing everyone's feet as an act of worship. Others placed photos of loved ones, poems and promises on the altar. Every gift, as every heart, was unique.
Please pray for the school as they prepare to go on outreach to Syria and possibly Kuwait in about 2 weeks. They need a miracle of provision to pay off their school fees and outreach costs.
Carolyn and I were able to bring financial donations from friends around the world which certainly helped their situation. More than that was the deep blessing they received to know that the Body of Christ around the world cared enough to give - that really touched them. They have been fasting and praying for a few weeks now (until sundown each day) to see the finances come in. I'm looking forward to hear of yet another miracle in the Egyptian desert!
They have already asked me to return for their next SOW in 2009 and I eagerly said "yes!".
Many thanks for all the prayer and financial support given to me which made this trip possible.
To God be the glory,
Belinda
