    2.  By hosting us mid-week
          
         -we would be happy to meet with you circle of influence
         -it could be in your home over coffee
         -a small group or bible study
         -with your family
         -or at your church

  3.   Commit to pray 

        -for us as a family
        -for the country of Namibia

When we take the opportunity to give God blesses us in return and he will take care of us...

       "Give and it SHALL be given unto you, a good measure pressed down, shaken together and running over."   Luke 6:38
                                              

On a personal note(Sharon), I have a a new appreciation for missionaries.  We have just begun but the level of trust one must learn to have is intense.  We have to trust God or we'll go crazy with anxiety.

Those who have a burning desire to touch the lives of people in a country that is destitute must depend on God's people here in Canada(North America) to listen to God's voice and follow His promise that as we give, He WILL take very good care of us.

I remember my parents giving of the very little they had to support missionaries when I was young.  We prayed for them as they kept in touch with us.  My parents are truly blessed and happy and God did take care of them.  They're greatest joy is when they can help others and this has really impacted me.  I've seen God's promise in action.

Missionaries can not go without your support. Unlike Canada where church workers are paid by the church to be a help to the community and the church family but missionaries must depend on individuals and churches to see the need outside their immediate needs.  Sadly,  we in a wealthy nation and still hold tight to "our" wealth and feel afraid of giving and then trusting the Lord.  I speak for myself as well in that giving is never easy, it's easier to close my eyes and heart. God forgive me and change me.

So on behalf of the people who serve in a foreign country they need prayer,  communication, and financial support.

Thanks for listening and to all of the missionaries... May God bless you.
