We need each other across denominational or nationality barriers.

I so much enjoy meeting the group of people who are involved in church planting in the area. 

The hunger and thirst for the word. The freedom in worship.

The team of Jom, Art, Paul and Moses are wonderful musicians and worshipers. It is so rare in this area to have skilled and anointed musicians so it is such a treat to have them serve in this group. Where most is in need of refreshing from heaven.

We started this first fellowship meeting of 2018, giving Thanks for 2017. Then also spending time to give our burdens to Jesus for the things we have failed to do or things we did wrong. Asking for forgiveness and forgiving ourselves too. We took some time to bless each other. 

I taught on forgiveness and the freedom from bitterness and the entanglement with our enemies encouraging to release them to the Lord. Freedom was already felt in the meeting, such sweet spirit. 

I had a feeling that Father was smiling as they spontaneously took each others hands around the room and sang about loving each other and being as one.

Some of the church planters are extremely lonely in their work. We are happy to serve them encourage and strengthen them. 

Today I had the news of 3 more missionary units leaving Isaan and my heart is saddened. We pray for more church planters both local and foreigners. I like to encourage all to be incorporated in a caring network to be able to endure the tough spiritual climate here. We need each other across denominational or nationality barriers.
