Impact & Gerda

As a missionary, we have many friends. I cannot count them all. We are touched when ordinarily people serve people in God's presence.

I like the word IMPACT (impressions, imprints, mark). They have done things, said good words (= blessed) and invited God's presence. And the power of God was visible.

Gerda Meinusch died Sunday the 20th of December She got up from bed in her home in Chiang Mai, but slipped and hit her head on a table next to the bed. She became 83.

Gerda was an unmarried missionary from Germany and worked mostly among the Karen people in Mea Sareang. Gerda had experienced God's Holy Spirit and was a fervent intercessor. Over the years Anna and Gerda became close friends. For many years they met 1 or 2 times per week and had lunch together.

Anna is now going to Chiang Mai to be with Joy and Sidney coordinating Funeral and Memorial Service. Funeral will take place in Mea Sereang as a Thank You for Gerda`s missionary service among them. The Memorial service will be on Sunday the 3rd Jan at ACTS Church of Chiang Mai.

The question today is: How can I do something that together with God's presence will produce and make an IMPACT (impressions, imprints, mark) much bigger than what I can produce my selves? Ingvar
