My day started off by getting up at 5:00am, leaving campus at 6:15am, then leaving SWBC at 7:15am for Derby, Kansas to help a Pastor and his church (I forget his name, no shocker there :D) canvas and door-knock their area. It was hard to think that I was only 3hrs away from home!....sniff sniff. Several people expressed interest in the North Woodlawn Baptist Church and said that they might visit while others were not interested. MANY people were not home so we left the tracks on the doors. Please pray for the city of Derby that God would get a hold of their hearts and that many would come to know Christ as their Savior.
I also just got finished with Missions Prayer Band about 10 minutes ago and boy was it good! The theme this year is the Unreached People Groups of the World. This evenings section of the world was Sri Lanka where 5 people groups are 100% unreached with the Gospel! However, I am happy to announce that I know of three missionaries supported by SWBC who are currently serving in that region.
It really is amazing to know that even though I am not on the mission field, I am having a part by just praying for them. I really love Missions Prayer band because it's a time of great encouragement and it reminds me of why I am here at HBBC: to train for whatever mission field God wants me to go to.
The group I went with had prayer letters from Africa that we all read and shared prayer requests and praises for. It was great to hear about the progress several missionaries, who have been sent out by SWBC, had made.
Please pray for me that I would stay focused on the committments I've made to God, that I would fall back in love with Him, and have a desire to delve deep into my devotions and prayer life. I miss you all SO very much and look forward to Christmas time!!!!!!!!
Love, Amber
