Dear Monica,
It touches my heart that the Holy Spirit has brought us together from all the way across the ocean! I hope you are doing well as you fast and I hope that the Awakening Prayer Revival was a success. My name is Michelle and I will be 18 next week. I love to read and write too as well as sing. I plan on going to college to become an English teacher in September. In my school, I am a member of a Bible study group called "Breakaway." We aren't very welcomed by our school's teachers and administrators. We have a very difficult time reaching out to the students in our school.
In Tim's group, however, we have a much easier time with our outreach work to the community. We don't get to spend much time praying together but we do a lot of work to aid those who need it. At the 30 Hour Famine, when we learned about war in Uganda, we were heartbroken. Now that we know we want to help by praying. I too believe that Uganda will be saved by God's hand and soon. Our group made it a goal to pray together as a group more often, especially for those whose needs are greater than ours. What does the Commission International Ministries work towards and what are some things in particular you would like us to pray for? What are some of the things that you do as prayer leader to help the group connect with God? What are some things you would suggest we should do?
Thank you for finding us. I agree, there is no other way we would have found each other than by means of God. I cannot wait to hear of the events of the Awakening Prayer Revival! If you would like my email address so we may talk some more, you could ask Tim for it and he will give it to you. Please write to me of how you're doing. This is one of my favorite Bible verses and I wanted to share it with you as a closing note.
"Let no one look down on because of your youth, but be a continuing example of love, faith, and purity to believers." -1 Timothy 4:12 "
Peace,
