Text Box: We are going to the mission field and we are so excited!  But we¡¦ve also heard disturbing reports that tested our faith.  The communist guerillas have visited the newest mission center several times looking for the founder.  The construction of the Missions Training Center that¡¦s currently going on has piqued their interest.  Nobody knows what they want because they would not talk to anyone else other than, whom they call, the founder. Several times, Bro. Jun-Youth Director and Pastor Boyet-Outreach Director, attempted to talk to them but they refused. So I keep asking, is it safe to go there? To be there with my family? God in His mercy and grace put peace in my heart.  He reassured me with His words of encouragement found in the book of Philippians 4:6-9,  ¡§Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable¡Xif anything is excellent or Text Box: praiseworthy¡Xthink about such things... And the God of peace will be with you.¡¨ I felt the Holy Spirit chide me...  ¡§Oh you of little faith.¡¨  I asked for God¡¦s forgiveness. Doubt was replaced with faith. I felt courage and boldness enter my spirit.  Yes, God is good.  I know that everything that will happen and can happen in this mission trip is under God¡¦s control and that this is His will for us¡Xto go in spite of.  I believe that nothing will happen that He has not allowed and what God allows we accept with faith. Yes, God is good.  I have faith that in spite of the amount we still need for the mission and the short time that¡¦s left before we leave, God will provide above and beyond all we ask and imagine.  All I know is that, He is never late.  I tried to imagine how God will do it but it¡¦s no use.   His ways are not my ways¡K Thank God for that! I gain a lot by trusting God in all things at all times and I lose a lot by worrying.  Fears and doubts have been replaced with  excitement and great expectations. I feel now that my faith has been magnified a hundredfold.  Truly, God is good!
