I was going through my pictures and found this quote for a Thanksgiving card for a friend at our local Christian store.
I love the quote so I took a picture of it 🙂
I am thankful for every friend God has brought into my life! They are my treasures!
This house is A BLESSING to us since we moved in 4 years ago.
We thank God for the owners who have been GREAT BLESSINGS in our lives, not just letting us to stay in their house, but also they show us love and care especially to our daughters.
We thank God for every special people He has brought into our lives!
But truly God has listened; he has attended to the voice of my prayer. Blessed be God, because he has not rejected my prayer or removed his steadfast love from me!
(Psalm 66:19-20)
This one of the the answered prayers we received from God in 2013. About a year we prayed for a family car, reliable and safe for longer road trips for our Partnership Development. So we looked around some options but none of them met the needs. We kept praying. We asked our prayer partners, family and friends to pray for this need. Our pastor and his wife prayed with us every week, for this need and for everything related to our ministry need.
God answered our prayer on April 30, 2013. A generous and kind relative of Dave and a partner, let us use her extra car as long as we need it.
We thank God for this answered prayer.
We thank God for everyone who have been praying for us.
We thank God for her.
We thank God!
It’s been 4 years we have not been back to see my parents and they haven’t seen our girls. It’s an unanswered prayer this year… but we keep on praying about it until God provide the funds for us to be able to go back, may be next year… we don’t know but He knows.
The Kluet people is one of the 39 unengaged unreached people groups in Indonesia. They live in Aceh Province, North Sumatera, northern part of the country. The population is about 50,000 people. They language they speak is called Batak-Alas Kluet.
The Kluet people are 100% Muslim, but the traditional animistic beliefs have not totally disappeared and often have significant impact. This can be seen in their daily lives, especially in special ceremonies. Many Kluet are afraid of evil spirits. They believe that one of the graves in their area has magical powers. The Kluet say that this grave can be seen at certain times while at other times it disappears. They use magic charms so that evil spirits will not hurt them. These charms help them feel calmer and more protected.
The Kluet do not place much value in education. Modern agricultural tools and methods would help keep them from feeling left behind and threatened by outsiders who come to their area. Medical assistance is greatly needed due to an increase in malaria and dengue fever as well as poor nutrition. Financial investment is very much needed.
How can we pray for them?
Pray that God will call the people who are willing and equipped to go and workers to show them the love of Christ and tell them the good news.
Pray for an emerging Kluet Church.
Pray for Bible Translation project will be started for these people. Having the Bible translated into the local language is an important resource for reaching an unreached people group. The written word in their own language adds validity and acceptance to the message, as well as making it more available.
Pray that God will use the most effective ways to send His message to the people.
