As this month closes out, I am already halfway through the year...
Although the time has passed so quickly, the first six months of 2001 had many trials and tribulations. But there were also many spiritual victories, and lives have been touched by the Lord. Really, even the 'trials and tribulations,' as painful as they were, all worked for my spiritual growth and betterment. So, praise the Lord!
I am still enjoying Anne Frank's diary. I commented on this in yesterday's journal entry. Earlier today, I answered a letter from an airman who's stationed at Incirlik Air Base in Turkey. He did not say how long he's been in the Air Force, but he mentioned having to be in this country for a two-year tour.
I tried to encourage him to attend the chapel services and to find a group of Bible believing Christians on the base to fellowship with. Turkey itself is predominately Muslim. I know he feels lonely. If I can, Lord willing, I hope to have a friend mail him a copy of the SON OF HOPE video. This will be a surprise.
Then, the other day, I received two encouraging letters from minister friends. An evangelist from the Pittsburgh area said that he cannot give out my testimony tracts fast enough. He told me he had to reorder 2,000 more from MOMENTS WITH THE BOOK. Furthermore, he said that he's never gotten any negative comments from others. This is refreshing!
Another Christian, from Florida, is a volunteer with Prison Fellowship. He mentioned sharing these testimony tracts with many prisoners as he goes into the various facilities, including Florida's Death Row. I’m so very thankful with all God is doing. Amen!
