Letter from a Dear Friend

I received this email today from one of my dear friends in China. Because I can't be 100% sure who will be reading this post, I am not able to share who it is or her story...although it would bring great joy to me to be able to do so. I have seen the Father work MIGHTILY in and through this dear sister....who also is one of my dearest friends! So often her life is an encouragement to me through her love for our Father and her boldness to share Him with others.

I hope that this brings encouragement and a challenge to you. For me, the encouragament was that we serve a mighty God who is at work and doing GREAT things among the nations!! Praise and glory to HIM alone! It was challenging for me to be reminded that I am to be sensitive to the Lord's call. Whatever He asks, whenever He asks...my answer is "Send me!" Lift up this sister in prayer when you think about it. I know she would appreciate it! Thanks so much!
