Hey Guys, Liz here to tell you about time in Gardingan.
Saturday night Janette, Rebecca and me stayed with Fera and the girls at the church. Quite hot and lots of mozzie bites but we enjoyed the experience. You would have laughed at us trying to put up the mozzie nets we got them stuck in the fan, lots of laughing but got there eventually. Fera's 4am prayer meeting was great, beautiful presence of God. 5.30am service started at 6 and was outdoors in the new building. The sun was as present and the Holy Spirit. We had a great time with Janette and Becs doing testimonies, me preaching, good time of ministry and then rice wrapped in banana leaves for breakfast. I even recognised a couple of people from when I came in 1993 - Amazing.
Back to main church building for kids service, they sang us songs Bena had taught them so we had to quickly change songs we were going to teach them. You taught them well Bena. You are a legend here.....
At the 5.30am service I talked from Matthew 5 v13 about being Salt and Light, so Fera took me around the neighbourhood visiting and praying for families (practical application from the morning message). We had an awesome time praying for a mother on a walking frame and son in a wheelchair, a man with gout who was a new convert, his wife had been a part of the church with Fera since the beginning and families where gambling was a problem. Most Excellent Time. That night we had a meeting with Fera's leaders, I shared on Faith and then we had Q & A. It is amazing that although we live in different countries and different conditions that same questions and concerns come up. God was good and used all of us to speak into solutions.
I have the most amazing team and I am greatful to God for the giftings and personalities in our group.... God surely set this up. God bless you guys, please keep praying as it is making a difference. Love Liz
Good work Foxtrot company! Especially to you commander in chief, that's a great update Liz thanks for the shout out, they are indeed a great part of God's family we get to partner with, would loved to have seen you put up your nets & to hear you all cracking up, laughter requires no translator its awesome do more of it i say lol. Things are going well here we had LG leaders last night and it was osum dreaming again what is possible, guess the challenge for you all now will be when this trip once seemed impossible and extremely unlikely ( ah lizzy baker lol) has now become possible, what else "seems" impossible. I pray you are all looking at your 'i could never' & 'impossible' lists and renaming then...'TO DO' lists! Super oober proud of you all. Much love to you all.
