Isaiah 43:1-3, 7, 10-13

But now, this is what the LORD says— he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: “Fear not, for I have redeemed you; I have summoned you by name; you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and when you pass through the rivers, they will not sweep over you. When you walk through the fire, you will not be burned; the flames will not set you ablaze. For I am the LORD, your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior... Bring my sons from afar and my daughters from the ends of the earth—everyone who is called by my name, whom I created for my glory, whom I formed and made.... “You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “and my servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe me and understand that I am he. Before me no god was formed, nor will there be one after me. I, even I, am the LORD, and apart from me there is no savior. I have revealed and saved and proclaimed—I, and not some foreign god among you. You are my witnesses,” declares the LORD, “that I am God. Yes, and from ancient days I am he. No one can deliver out of my hand. When I act, who can reverse it?”
Isaiah 43:1-3, 7, 10-13

Thank you God for Teammates!


We are so thankful to be here as part of a team. Sure there are little things about working together that can be difficult, but the variety of gifts and personalities on our team is a wonderful blessing from God. In the midst of a new language and a new culture, it is comforting to find fellowship in the presence of our teammates. Those of us with children are especially grateful for the love shown to our little ones. We greatly appreciate the "baby-sitting services" that everyone cheerfully contributes (although we try not to take advantage of them too much). Those of us with kids are now starting a "date night" rotation, so we can get out with our spouse a little bit. Thank you God for teammates!
