Accepted At Last - The Next step in the process

Hey- well we finally got the word, we are accepted by IMF!! Praise God, now the last and final step is to undergo the psychological evaluation!! Yikes!!! Actually we should be good to go!! As soon as the results are in, and we are cleared to be missionaries we will be completed, except for the funding, and the last couple months of school!! God is so amazing, I just cant wait to tell you more stories about the people that we are going to!!
God's hand is moving more and more, the more that I look around and talk to people about Him, and see what He is doing in my life, the more that I realise how much He loves each and every one of us. I was talking to one of the guys that is located where we are going, and He was telling me about the miracles that are taking place up there!! Wow, God is really becoming pro active in the field, calling people unto Himself! We meet another friend and he was telling that there are Muslims that Jesus Himself is visiting at night while they pray to Allah. Jesus Himself shows up and tells them that He is the one true God, and they must worship Him!! There is no words to describe the fire that they are carying in there hearts. There are people that are praying for God to answer there prayers, but God does not just answer, He blows there doors off!!! A man that we know is building Hospitals in the middle east, and the way that God is using Him to witness to people is nothing short of a miracle!!!! Satan trys to take our eyes off God, and onto the things of the world, but the more that I push on towards God, the more that we render Satan inneffective. I have just recently seen that when the attacts happen, just push hard into God, and He will supply all out needs!! I am starting to get a glimps of what God meant when He said that the harvest is ripe, and the workers are few! I had no idea how ripe the harvest is, but I praise God to know that He is not willing to let me, or them go. There have been a million times that I should have been turned into a pillar of salt, but because of His great love for us I am still standing, and we will stand. In one of the class's that we are taking now, we are studying church History, and what that looked liked, and because of that I have been meditating on what kind of love would you have to have to sit there, while you are being burned to death, and praying for the forgiveness of the peopel that are doing it? Also, not being mad at them!! I wonder how people would react to christians in a society where you have to drive past the gallows every day, knowing that they are built to kill Christians like us! We have meet some people from here that have told us about the Chinese Church and how it is literally taking your life and throwing it out the window to say that you are christian!! What kinda love must you have in your heart to keep going every day??? God please help me keep fighting this fight until its won.
Please pray for Mandy and I as we go into this last evaluation, we should know if we are accepted by as soon as friday, or as late as the 17th. Thank you to all of you that have been praying for us, and supporting us over this last 8 months!!!! Only 4 more to go!!!!!!!! Later guys, please e-mail us and let us know how you all are doing!!!!
