Update on Missions

  It has six months since the World Health Organization was first notified of the Ebola outbreak.  Sierra Leone has faced tremendous challenges trying to halt the spread of the disease.  
I am still anxiously waiting for the day to come when I will be deplored to Sierra Leone. I was getting very impatient because I know there is so much work to do
 there and people are perishing without hearing the Good News. We know that our God is able to do" immeasurably more that we can ask or imagine according to His power that is at work within us." Ephesians 3:20  I have faith that God will answer our prayers and the Ebola virus will be a thing of the past.

Prayer Request:
 1. Please continue to pray for the people of West Africa as they battle the Ebola virus.
 2. Please pray that medical supplies and food will reach the people that need it the most.
 3. Pray that a vaccine to prevent this deadly disease will be available soon.
 4. Please pray that when the disease is eradicated that all the people will come to know God as the one and only God.
5. Please pray that I will continue to trust God as a patiently wait on Him.

Information concerning how you can support the mission or provide food for the people of Sierra Leone during this crisis can be garnered by visiting the Global Outreach Mission website  at www.missiongo.org. You can find me under missionaries, and Africa.
 Thanks for all your prayers and support.  

"Are You Still Going To Sierra Leone"

Are you still going to Sierra Leone? I get asked that question several times a day.  The answer is yes. Ebola is not going to stop God's plans. I still plan to go as soon as I can. This is what God has called me to do and I cannot let anything get in my way.  There may be a slight delay but the people of Sierra Leone need to hear the Good News now more than ever.
 Please pray for the people of West Africa that the disease will soon be eradicated and the people will know that it was God who was on their side and that He is able to bring about a change in the situation.

Headed to Africa

I am so thankful to God for providing resources for His mission in Sierra Leone. I have not worked as hard as I should have but He has been so faithful. I see progress and know I will be there soon.
 He is truly able to provide more that I could have imagined. 
 Thank you all for all your prayers and support.  I am still accepting support donations to my account through Global Outreach Mission at P.O. Box 2010, Buffalo, N. Y. or online   missiongo.org.
Please continue to pray,
Brenda

Pakistan- Christians on the Battlefield

 God allowed me to meet a pastor from Pakistan  and we had a great weekend of worship and fellowship. There are Christians working in Pakistan to win souls for Christ.  I thank God for these Christians. It is a hard country to be a Christian but with God nothing is impossible.  Many are coming to Christ each day. It is a country that is ripe for harvest. In  John 4:35,  Jesus says "Do you not say." There are still four months and then comes the harvest? Behold I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!" It is God's desire than none should perish and He is sending workers into the field to tell the Good News.
 Please pray  that many of the people of Pakistan will hear the Good News and that they will come to accept Jesus as their Savior. Pray that God will wrap His arm of protection around the pastors and missionaries that they will not get weary.

Who Would Have Believed It?

 I am beginning to get excited as the time for me to return to Sierra Leone gets closer.  God had continued to bless me with lots of people who believe that the Great Commission( Matthew 28:18-20) is not a suggestion but a command. I thank you all for your support. I feel so encouraged and know that your obedience to God's command will be rewarded. People will not have an opportunity to hear the Word of God if I do not go. I thank God for sending me to this fertile area. The harvest is indeed plentiful.
Please continue to pray  that God will continue to strengthen me for the long journey ahead. Please also pray for the people in Mokanji that  when they hear the Good News it will not fall on stony hearts but will change theirs lives .   Please pray that the children will have a Christian school to attend and a good meal each day.
I still seek your financial support and ask that you will visit missiongo.org  to make a contribute to the ministry.

Prayers and Missions

I have not been working as hard as a should to get ready to accept my full time missionary appointment in Sierra Leone. It is probably because I did not know it would be so hard. I have come to the realization that is truly a lack of faith that has kept me from reaching  my goal. It is not a difficult goal as I have made it out to be. I am trying not to take rejection personal but the rejection of Christ's mission. If Christ has ordered me to go to Sierra Leone(Mokanji area) then He will truly be with me in all aspects of the journey.
 I have been reading Mark 9 today. In verse 28, the disciples asked why they could not drive the demons out of the boy and Jesus replied that " This kind can be cast out only with prayer." Jesus was expressing how unbelief can cause a lack of faith.  My lack of faith is centered in my lack of prayer. I am working to get back on track by increasing my conversations with God. I have decided that it is time to look forward and not backwards.
 Today is a sad day in my life. It is the anniversary of the death of my son.  In the past, I had problems getting out of bed on this day but thanks to Christ who is the source of my strength , I feel stronger than ever.
  I know that in just a few months I will have my support in place and ready to begin to work in Mokanji. God is sending many people my way who are helping and offering words of encouragement and I thank Him for His faithfulness and for calling me to this important mission journey.
