This month we had the privilege of hosting a recent college graduate interested in learning about missions firsthand. Jessica is the fourth young woman from Katy, Texas to visit us here in South Africa and we were so blessed by her sweet, tender heart. Its always fun showing someone the projects we are involved with and introducing them to our ministries and friends.

Right about the time God told us to focus on love, some incredible things started happening in our midst. Funny how that works right? Transparency, deep love for one another, shared burdens, kind words, laughs, rebukes, pursuits of holiness, etc.. These are things that are taking shape in the ladies Bible study, in our Foundations group at church, in our team, and now with acquaintances who are seeing what God is doing and longing to connect. One morning after all the women had left Bible study I mentioned how special I think these ladies are. Jessica responded with this, "Yes they are. This group. I want this in my life." What a blessing her word were to us. There is no substitute for the body of Christ, functioning in love and carrying one another's burdens. The lost find redemption, the young believer finds growth, the mature find accountability, and everyone enjoys a deeper, fuller fellowship with our beloved Lord. Oh Jesus, please continue to grow this knowledge in us and use us to bring healing to your people and the nations of this world.
