Mountains Can Be Moved
November 8, 2009We shot up like sprouts as soon as the fire alarm at 7:22am. It is now after 12am and we had just returned from a full day of spending time with two churches. We spent our morning with Fire Christian Fellowship and evening with Ambassador Hall.
We were greeted warmly at both churches. It was a joy to know that across the Atlantic there is a group of people we can call “family” due to our unity under God the Father.
Today, we saw the undeniable hunger for the truth, the love, and the fulfillment that can only be found in Jesus. We gave our testimonies today not knowing the struggles these people were facing only to find that our struggles with depression, sexual abuse, suicidal thoughts, violence, family problems, financial struggles, pain, anger, and being unloved were able to relate to them.
“You can pray for anything, and if you have faith you will receive it.” (Matthew 21:22)
We can do nothing in our own strength except stand alongside with them in prayer, believing that Jesus will meet their need. Today we basically encouraged them that if Jesus took us out from all the issues we had, He can do it for them too – His love is great.

November 7, 2009Through circumstances beyond our control, the Five Stones Team arrived in Scotland without a leader.

Tonight we met as a group to lift up our team leader’s health in prayer—and as we prayed for her, the presence of God also began to break our hearts even more for this nation.
We are excited to be here and we are expecting to see the Lord do great things far beyond what our minds can imagine. Let us see what tomorrow brings…
