I stand in awe of God and His marvelous workings and simultaneously fall to my knees, recognizing He is doing wonders through us, a man, a woman, a family, a ministry group, supply partners, and prayer partners. We get to be a part of the ingredients for this time in ‘His’-story. Let me tell of His works.

Randy and I traveled to various nations in Asia. One leader/student of a school said, “We had people teach us before. They taught our heads. But God used you to change  our hearts.” Heart change! Multiple young people, ages 12-20, that had been abandoned by their parents and family because of their faith were with us. One 14 year-old girl told me that as her family began to persecute her, forcing her to leave home, she told them, “You can do what you will to me, but I will not deny my Christ.” Do you see the courageous heart?

Randy prayed over 4 men. We learned that each man, being mentored by the one before, represented 4 generations of graduates. The last two were taught by local, national leaders. Do you see, we are just a catalyst? Many are traveling into neighboring nations, translating our manuals, and proclaiming Christ even at threat of death. God uses PI as an additive to the ingredients He brought together and a marvelous reaction results, but the catalyst does not remain.

From Asia, I traveled to a European nation, while Randy stayed in another Asian country. He witnessed the hunger and courage of these people. God is drawing every generation, every people group. He saw such humility!

Cathie Vincent and I met with 3 amazing women about PrayGround. It seemed like a very simple, relational meeting. But it is amazing to see what God is doing! I shared that at present the PrayGround team is developing units of curriculum, which is comparable to our PI manuals, easily reproducible, with little cost to implement, and we became deeper friends. Later, they contacted me with an implementation plan that would train and release children and empower families to impact their world. IF all goes well in the prototype, one of the friends will become a PrayGround trainer to multiple churches and families throughout her organization. Do you see that God values the small things?

Presently we are returning to Texas from Florida, where we witnessed a miraculous display of God’s grace, healing, and generations seeking after God together. I spoke at the ladies’ retreat. My beautiful, praying, and strong friend of 93 years young along with her friends who boast of 80 plus years, literally danced among us. Every decade down to 30 years old participated in our weekend together. Women of all generations encouraging, laughing, praying, honoring, and loving each other.

On Sunday, Randy revealed the beauty and power revealed in the name(s) of God. People were overwhelmed as God revealed Himself through Randy’s words. I joined the children, leading in some powerful and fun PrayGround activities. We know that we acted as His catalyst for the new thing God is doing there. Do you see God works through relationships?

Let’s open our eyes to see Him and say together, “I will praise the Lord with my whole heart, I Will tell of His marvelous works.” Ps. 9:1
