May Mission's Month- A purposeful prayer

As many of you know, the wonderful Beeck family recently experienced a miracle (read here!) and read their blog here for a bit more background! It's very exciting that they get to stay another month in the country with the people they've been called to, but they're not out of the woods yet.

The problem is that every two years the teams registration in Mozambique has to be renewed.. While they have applied for renewal at the earliest they possibly could (last week), this process has been known to take up to a year to complete! Now, the Beecks visa can't be granted until the registration is renewed. Their visa is set to expire on the 29th May so the team has sent out this prayer request:

So that the Beecks (and the rest of the team) can be secure in Mozambique for another 2 years, please be praying for the whole month of May that our registration process that normally takes one year...will take one month...and be complete before the 29th of May...thanks


We've seen God work miracles before and we know he can and will hear our prayers so let's join together as senders and the sent in praying for this!

Trust and Obey

Well i'm in the last few days of my quick trip to malawi. It's been a blast being back with the team from mozambique. It's that feeling when you return to family and while things are different, it's still the same. The past three months in perth could easily have been a holiday and now i'm back 'home'. Only i'm not home.. I haven't even nearly come close to the place where i spent the majority of my time last year.

Maybe i still need to work out this idea of home?

Maybe, just maybe, it's a reminder that i'll only truly be home when i'm in the presence of God eternally... 

So why did i come for such a short time? What was the point? Practically- it was to assist with looking after the children while a conference for the team was being held in Malawi. But there is more than that. It's about being obedient... And that's something i'm only just learning now. Obedience means following Christ even when we don't know where he'll lead us. We need to listen and obey. Trust in God and step out in faith. 

He knows what he's doing and is sovereign in all situations. I have to remember this. Even when i'm in this stalling stage, not knowing where i'll be going next. 

It's definitely a new season now...
