Day 6 of Gratitude

Let me tell you the gratitude I have for my new friends in Closed Countries!

During one of our mission trips to a closed nation, my friend and I were able to connect with and bless a branch from Create International. We built relationships, prayed over their new office, and poured into individuals. As we traveled to a separate region, we blessed many missionaries in the 10/40 window through a Y conference. Because of the support received through 313, we were able to form several relationships and potential partnerships in these regions for future endeavors as the Lord leads. One of my favorite stories was hearing and connecting with a fellow believer inside of an extremely impoverished and persecuted region. He owns a business for men recovering from addictions where they walk through healing and eventually present the gospel.

This nation does not support Christians and could be very dangerous if they were to discover the conversion part; yet this year the individual received a call from the government asking them to expand to all providences inside the country! How great is our God? Those who persecute Christians are asking for the gospel to be spread!

One missionary friend named ‘P’ oversees and directs one of the branches for Create International. P has been on the mission field for nearly 20 years. She is a delight and welcomed us with open arms into her home! We ministered to women, men, and one young gal who had previously converted over to following Jesus as her Lord and Savior. We were able to provide encouragement and fill with words from the Lord.

It was truly a mission that filled my soul in more ways that I could have ever imagined.
