Thank you, Lord

For a glimmer of hope

A sure hope

A living hope

Your hope brings life

Your hope brings comfort

Your hope brings release

Rebuild our broken lives

Rebuild our broken dreams

Rebuild our broken ruins

For our hope is in You

Awakened

Awakened by Your love

Awakened by Your hope

Awakened by Your grace

Each day is a gift from You

We love because You first loved us

We are consumed by You

We are possessed by You

We are drawn into Your presence

To be fully awake and alive

In Your awesome presence

Beholding Your beauty and glory

Heal Us, Lord

Lord, have mercy on us

Pour Your grace on us

Touch and heal us

Let Your healing power flow

Let it flow through 

Every cell

Every tissue

Every fibre

Let it flow through our veins

Through our arteries

Flood our hearts with faith

As we cry out to You
Heal our broken bodies, Lord

The balm of Gilead

Our only hope

Let faith arise

To receive Your healing touch

God is so Good

Monte and I were married on 20 March 1999.  We thank God for blessing us with eighteen years of marriage.  We are grateful to the Lord for bringing us together and holding us in His loving hands all these years.  Monte is a wonderful and loving husband who constantly loves, cares, believes and supports me.  He sacrificed and gave of his best to me.  I am blessed.

God sustains us daily.  Each day, we are reminded that the Lord is in control and we can rely on Him completely.  We have tasted God's goodness and grace.  We have seen wonders and miracles.  The Lord shows us that there is absolutely nothing He cannot do.  We have experienced His miraculous provision.  We have experienced His abiding presence in the midst of raging storms.  Even at this moment, we are not out of the woods.  What keeps us going on is God's hand of love, His faithfulness and sustaining grace.  We desire to live in the center of His will.  As we posture our hearts to seek the Lord, we find strength for each new day. He is the reason for our being.  God unfolds His plans and purposes and fill our hearts with faith and hope.  We would not have made it apart from His mercy and grace.  We bow in humble adoration at the foot of the cross and declare that He is Lord.

We are thankful for family and friends who have journeyed with us all these years.  Many people have stood by us and encouraged us in our journey.  We appreciate each of you and pray for God's abundant blessings on you.

Faithful God

As Monte leaves for the States, this morning.  Our hearts are overflowing with God's goodness and faithfulness.  His miraculous provision blew our minds.  We serve a God who has endless supply and resources.  We know that there is absolutely nothing He cannot do.

Monte's first stop after transit in LAX is Nashville, Tennessee, where he will spend a few days with Ekaputra Tupamahu (PhD student at Vanderbilt University) and his wife Jenny and kids. Then he and Ekaputra will drive up to St Louis, Missouri, to again participate and present a paper in the annual conference of the Society for Pentecostal Studies (9 -11 March).  We are grateful to God that He has orchestrated Monte's involvement in this global impacting conference for six consecutive years.  On 12 March, Monte will be off to California (Clovis/Fresno; central California) to visit our beloved family.

We would like to express our deepest appreciation for family and friends who have made this trip possible.  Some have blessed us financially,  others have encouraged and prayed for us. We pray for God's bountiful blessings on each one of you.

We journey with the Lord with joy, hope and expectancy.  We know we cannot do anything apart from the Lord.  He is boundless, limitless and matchless.  God is ever faithful, merciful and gracious.  We see the miraculous, life, hope and endless possibilities in Christ.

We Rest in You

This glorious morning beams with hope and optimism. How can we ever live without You. You are the reason for our being. You are why our heart is beating. We lean not on our own understanding. We rest in Your amazing love.
