Hello friends and family!
From my last letter, I’ve had a very busy season and some very important changes that I want to let you all know.
We had 3 back to back teams and they were all amazing. I’ll share a highlight from each team! There’s also a podcast that Hope, Tommy and myself recorded that’s coming out soon about testimonies from these trips!
The first June team: during our discipleship day, we split into 3 groups: men, women, and children. The men’s group had a man who was asking amazing questions but was left with the question of wanting to believe in God but also serve his witchcraft things. The team was able to talk with the man, and he decided that he wanted some of the guys to go to his house and to burn all of his charms and witch craft belongings. This man had lost his wife and 3 children because he choose to follow the devil. As they were grabbing all the different things this man had carved out of wood for the devil, they continued to ask if he truly wanted to serve God and let all of this go. He contemplated for a few minutes, pacing back and forth and then agreed to burn everything!!
The second June team: I got to witness the Holy Spirit work so mightily through someone on our team. He talked with a stutter, was very anxious, and sometimes had trouble figuring out what he wanted to say. BUT! Every time he spoke during ministry, all of that went away! It was INCREDIBLE to see God use him and work through him!
The last team: there was a woman who since having children, had been completely possessed by a demon. At first, she was so happy to see white people and speak perfect English with the team but the second we started talking about Jesus she flipped out and ran away. The team began to pray from a distance for her and when they came back later that day, she was willing to let them pray for her. As they were praying, she began crying out to God and declaring that she knew God could hear her prayer and help her. Although we didn’t physically see COMPLETE restoration, we KNOW and BELIEVE that she is completely free!
Now, for the important changes. I am moving back to America full term. I am going to be moving back to Phoenix, Arizona in September. Some of you may know this, and it might come as a surprise to others. God is calling me back to Phoenix and I am excited to see what He has in store for me! That being said, if any of my Phoenix friends know of anyone who is in need of a roommate or knows someone wanting to rent their home/apt, please let me know! I am looking for a place to stay. Along with that, I will also be in need of a job! If you know someone who is interested in hiring a really cool, Jesus loving gal, and think I would be a good fit, please let me know! I am fully trusting in God’s plan for me moving to Phoenix. I have abundant and complete peace and know that is where I am supposed to be.
Some other news, I will no longer be working with Trail Missions. Trail Missions is taking a year long sabbatical and I have decided to not continue doing ministry work with them.
If you support me monthly through my donorbox link or through my church, Living Streams, please cancel those monthly plans. I want to thank each and every one of you for ALL the support you’ve given me all these years! All of your prayers have been felt and have changed people’s eternity. And, for all of the financial support, THANK YOU. Truly, from the bottom of my heart- thank you, thank you, thank you! I literally could not have done any of this ministry without the help of all of you!
I am forever grateful for the past 4 years of doing ministry with Trail Missions, 3 of those being long term missions work. I have gotten to witness over a thousand people come to know Jesus and completely change their lives for God. I’ve seen God preform miracles, healings, deliverance, and freedom that I will remember forever. It’s been an amazing experience and I am so thankful for these years of ministry and loving on the Lozi people.
As I prepare and transition back to life and ministry in the states, I have one final prayer request! Would you pray for protection and favor as I travel back to America? That all flights and bags, and things (also me!!!) make it to the states safely? And, will you please pray for my heart - although the change is necessary, it doesn’t make it any less easy leaving.
I am so grateful for each and every one of you! I hope to catch up and grab coffee or dinner with you all when I am back! I still have my same phone number, 760-650-6324, so please reach out anytime!
Much love,
Amanda
