Shalom and Blessings
Praise God the lockdown restrictions have been eased and we are being promised that if the morbidity rate decreases eventually things will open up again. Sadly for many merchants, restaurants and bars it is too late, countless stores have closed and FOR RENT signs have taken their place. One of the hardest hit has been the tourism industry, thankfully the airport opened last Thursday with restrictions for certain incoming passengers. Our hearts grieve for all the people who have suffered loss, both business owners and employees. The economy will be a long time recovering.
Tuesday night the IDF discovered a terrorist tunnel from Gaza which reached dozens of meters into Israel. Two hours after the discovery Gaza fired a rocket into the southern area of the country. The rocket was intercepted by the Iron Dome and no damage or injuries were reported. Of course the IAF retaliated; the tit-for–tat continues! Also Tuesday night the IAF attacked a military base in southern Syria killing a number of pro-Iranian militants. I do not think it takes a military strategist to realize that an Iranian retaliation attack could happen any day.
Last week we celebrated the drilling of the well for the orphanage in Migori, Kenya. By the grace of God we were able to raise the funds necessary for this phase of the project. However, we have water but at present no way of pumping it out of the ground we lack the finances to buy the electric pump, solar panels to run it and the storage tank assembly. We are short approximately $6,500 US to make this dream a reality and complete the work we started. "Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans…." (James 1:27).
Please continue to support the water project for the orphanage in Kenya, no amount donated is too small. Donations need to be made through your personal PayPal account. When making a donation, make it to: mataraevans2019@gmail.com Please be sure to highlight "sending money to a friend" otherwise PayPal charges us 4.4% of your donation. Thank you and God bless you for your concern and generosity.
Hi Ellen here…We all want power. Hopefully your desire is power from above! The Holy Spirit blesses us with the fruits of the Spirit; we have to utilize them, study them and apply them. We purpose each day to grow in Love, Joy, Peace, Goodness, Faithfulness, Kindness, Gentleness, Patience and Self-Control…but it's the "Gifts" - Wisdom, Knowledge, Discerning of spirits, Miracles, Healing, Supernatural Faith, Prophecy, Tongues and Interpretation of tongues that produce power! We need to take time and study God's Word…to pray but also to be silent in His presence. There are statistics in the world that say most of us stop learning when we leave school…well let us bash those false claims and buckle down from Genesis to Revelation. Yes let our light shine in this dark world but in addition let us back up that light with wisdom and knowledge from above. Love you all!
