Laura's team meets regularly to pray for their outreach trip and specifically for their target country. During one of their prayer times, the team prayed that God would show them what their target country needs. They asked Him to give them "words" or pictures about where they are going and what He wants for the country. Different team members got words such as "darkness," "working in the night," "working in secret," "being afraid," etc. As Laura began to pray, she got the verse "Romans 13:11-12." Everyone grabbed their Bibles (or opened their Bible apps!) to Romans and read:
"And do this, knowing the time, that now it is high time to awake out of sleep; for now our salvation is nearer than when we first believed. The night is far spent, the day is at hand. Therefore let us cast off the works of darkness, and let us put on the armor of light."
Now, let me be very clear about this: our family has read the Bible and we know SOME verses from the Bible. But God did not "drop" John 3:16 into Laura's head. Romans 13 is NOT a chapter we've read over and over. It is not a chapter we memorized as a family. Folks, this verse came to Laura from God and God alone. Only He gets the glory for this!
We believe God was telling the team NOW IS THE TIME!! WAKE out of SLEEP!! The NIGHT is FINISHED! The salvation for this country (that cannot be named) is near. Cast off DARKNESS and put on LIGHT. Hallelujah!! Go GOD!!!
Now tell me that's not amazingly cool!! Tell me God doesn't know EXACTLY what He's doing! He's using these TEENS to bring SALVATION to the WORLD! He's using these TEENS to push back the DARKNESS and bring in HIS LIGHT!! And He's using HIS WORD to remind them of their calling!!
Will you help bring HIS LIGHT to E. Asia?? Laura leaves in less than a month. She is totally trusting God to raise the final funds she needs to go. No matter the amount needed, we believe that GOD will provide!
