This is the final preparation week for three big simultaneous CFC Kids for Christ Island Kids' Villages in Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao. There are many things to be finalized and the task ahead is huge. Some of us feel the high pressure and are getting stressed out. We feel the need for more manpower support, for the battle ahead is great. Timothy reminds us, "As for you, my son, be strong through the grace that is ours in union with Christ Jesus" 2 Timothy 2:1. He further exhorts, "Take your part in suffering, as a loyal soldier of Christ Jesus" 2 Timothy 2:3.
Yes, we are soldiers of Christ going into battle. A battle over the hearts, minds, and souls of a new generation that will become world changers. A new generation that will aggressively pursue the vision of 'Families in the Holy Spirit renewing the face of the earth.' Our 'battle' experiences will make us better soldiers, better full time workers, better coordinators for our King. I imagine the time when we will all meet once again and talk about our challenges and the victory that our Lord has given us. We will come back different, with battle scars but gaining a heart full of courage!
The call is clear, to bring kids to the Lord and build a bright new world. Let us claim victory over our mission areas! Let us possess the islands! "For you are about to cross the Jordan to go in to possess the land which the LORD your God is giving you, and you shall possess it and live in it" Deuteronomy 11:31.
Lord, we claim victory over Luzon, Visayas, and Mindanao! By Your grace, by Your power we will succeed.
