Hope On A Leash

Dear Rachelle,

Balji did his best to provide
for his family, but in his destitute village in Nepal, it was almost impossible.
Thankfully, Balji and his family were Christians and trusted the Lord to
provide. And He did, but not in a form they expected. Read
Balji’s story here.

Many families like Balji’s are being impacted
through your prayers and gifts. Thank you for your partnership to see Asia come
to Christ!

Yours for the unreached,

K.P. Yohannan
Founder &
President

Go read Balji’s story. Then join us in reaching Asia with the love of Christ!!!

With Jesus

If anyone wants to serve me, he must follow me, and where I am, my servant will
be too. || John 12:26 || NLT ||

The primary New Testament Greek word for "slave" is doulos. But
here the term John uses, translated "servant" is diakonos, which can also
be translated "slave." Jesus often uses two words interchangeably. (see Mk.
10:43f)

How many times have we wished, "If only I could be with Jesus." How often
have we complained, "He seems so far away from me." Here in John, Jesus gives us
the answer to this desire to be with Him; we must become His servants, His
slaves. If we want to be "where I am," it can only be as that man or woman He
owns as an obedient slave. We must follow in order to serve. We must serve in
order to keep company with Jesus, our Master.

Dreams

If
we’re in each other’s dreams, we can play together all night."

The Tide

isaacsgirl — Fri, 01 Jun 2007 22:03:08 +0000

Attempting to hold back love

Trying to halt the tide

Even if you close your eyes

The waves come washing in

And the water floods the sand

On the banks of your heart

“I have a Father!”

A GFA missionary found Swathy in a slum village like this one.

GOSPEL FOR ASIA ARTICLE:

Swathy came to school with exciting news to share with her friends.
"I have a Father who is alive," she announced, "and He is making a house for me, and He is going to come back and get me."

Nine-year-old Swathy had just learned, for the first time, of God’s
love for her as a Father when she met a Gospel for Asia missionary who
visited her home in the slum.

Swathy’s father had died before she was born, and she had
grown up filled with sorrow as she watched other children who still had
both their parents. Swathy’s mother worked very hard to take care of
her four children. But missing her father’s love, Swathy became
rebellious and difficult to handle. Even her teachers became frustrated
with her.

When Swathy heard about her heavenly Father, it changed her life. She
received Jesus as her Savior and started reading her Bible and praying
every day for her family’s salvation. Even her neighbors noticed the
change in her character and began sending their own children to the
GFA-affiliated church.

Please pray for Swathy to grow closer to the Lord, and that
she will always cherish His love. Pray also that her family will choose
to follow Christ.

I HAVE A BEDROOM!!!!!!!

isaacsgirl — Sat, 26 May 2007 02:42:34 +0000

I have a bedroom! I HAVE A BEDROOM!!!! YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!! *squeals and jumps up and down ecstatically* (Or at least I would if I had the energy after this wipe-out of a day.) Alright, I know you don’t get it, but you’d be this excited too if you’d been bed-room-less for 5 months. I had no clue how awesome it is to have a bed that is there all the time and a dresser to put your clothes in AND a bookshelf so that you can read ANY of your books without digging through boxes in the garage. *happy sigh* Now I don’t even want to leave the room; I just want to sit here on my bed and look around at my pretty pictures that I haven’t seen in 5 months. Mmmmmm. HOOOORAY! *bursts into song* PRAISE GOD FROM WHOM ALL BLESSINGS FLOOOOOOOOOOOOW!!!

Bring The Rain

by MercyMe

album: Coming Up To Breathe (2006)

I can count a million times People asking me how I Can praise You with all that I've gone through The question just amazes me Can circumstances possibly 
Change who I forever am in You Maybe since my life was changed Long before these rainy days It's never really ever crossed my mind To turn my back on you, oh Lord My only shelter from the storm But instead I draw closer through these times So I pray 

Bring me joy, bring me peace Bring the chance to be free Bring me anything that brings You glory And I know there'll be days When this life brings me pain But if that's what it takes to praise You Jesus, bring the rain 

I am Yours regardless of The dark clouds that may loom above Because You are much greater than my pain You who made a way for me By suffering Your destiny So tell me what's a little rain So I pray Bring me joy, bring me peace 
Bring the chance to be free Bring me anything that brings You glory And I know there'll be days When this life brings me pain But if that's what it takes to praise You Jesus, bring the rain Holy, holy, holy Is the Lord God Almighty

Listen on my imeem player above... song 1.

For my sisters. This song reminds me of you girls and the relationship the three of us have. Thanks for the way you both show God’s unselfish love to me and to each other. You know I’m here anytime you need me. I love you girls!

"Fall" recorded by Clay Walker

Hold up, there you go again
Puttin on that smile again
Even though I know you’ve had a bad day
Doin’ this and doin’ that
Always puttin’ yourself last
A whole lotta give and not enough take
But you can only be strong so long before you break…

So fall go on and fall apart
Fall into these arms of mine
I’ll catch you every time you fall
Go on and lose it all
Every doubt every fear every worry every tear
I’m right here
Baby, fall

Forget about the world tonight
All that’s wrong and all that’s right
Lay your head on my shoulder let it fade away
And if you wanna let go, baby, its okay

Fall, go on and fall apart
Fall into these arms of mine
I’ll catch you every time you fall
Go on and lose it all
Every doubt, every fear, every worry, every tear
I’m right here
Baby, fall

Hold on hold on hold on to me…

Fall go on and fall apart
Fall into these arms of mine
I’ll catch you every time you fall
Go on and lose it all
Every doubt, every fear, every worry, every tear
I’m right here
Baby, fall

Listen to this song here. Its number 104 on the playlist.

I’ll remember you, Love, in my prayers…

I’ll Remember You, Love, In My
Prayers
performed by Alison Krauss and Union Station
*listen on my space media player or here.

When the curtains of night are
pinned back by the stars
And the beautiful moon sweeps the sky
When the dew drops of heaven are kissing the rose
It is then that my memory flies

Upon the wings of some beautiful dove
To hasten the message of cheer
I’ll send you a kiss of affection and say
I’ll remember you, Love, in my prayers

When the angels of heaven are guarding the good
As God has ordained them to do
In answer to prayers that I offered to Him
I know there’s one waiting for you

Go where you will on land or on sea
I’ll share all your sorrows and cares
And at night when I kneel by my bedside to pray
I’ll remember you, Love, in my prayers

May the angels be with you and guard you through life
And guide you up Heaven’s bright stairs
And know that I love you wherever you roam
I’ll remember you, Love, in my prayers
