FAITH IS THE SUBSTANCE OF THINGS HOPED FOR

 

"Seek His will in all you do, and He will show you which path to take."  Proverb 3:6

 A Journey of a Million Miles

 

 "For I am about to do someting new.  See, I have already begun!  Do you not see it?  I will make a

pathway through the wilderness.  I will created rivers in the dry wasteland."   (Isaiah 43:19)

 

Someone once said that perfection in this life is to become what God wants us to become.  At the

age of fifty, I could not help wonder what lie ahead - old age in a rocking chair; physical limitations;

health deteriation; financial problems?  Quite frankly, I was angry, and for a short time I sat around

feeling sorry for myself.  Then I started to collaborate with an older friend by writing a book entitled,

"The Best Is Yet To Come."  Circumstances did not allow us to complete our project, but I certainly

learned that our usefulness does not expire until we do.  God has a purpose and plan for our life

right up to the very end.

 

"Have you never heard or understood?  Don't you know that the Lord is the everlasting God, the

Creator of all the earth?   He never grows faint or weary.  No one can measure the depths of his

understanding.  He gives power to those who are  tired and worn out;  he offers strength to the

weak.  Even youths will become exhausted, and young men will give up.  But those who wait upon

the LORD will find new strength.  They will fly high on wings like eagles.  They will run and not

grow weary.  They will not faint."  (Isaiah 40:28-31)

 

Wow! Does it matter that I have had several heart attacks and Bypass surgery?  Does it matter

that Maggie, my wife and  partner, had neurosurgery for a brain tumor?  No!  As Christ told Paul,

"My grce is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness."  (2 Corinthians 12:9)

 

Now, at the age of sixty-five, God spoke to me and said, "This is your time!  Both Maggie and I are

in better physical condition than we have been in years.  A few months ago, we committed our small

retiremnt funds to travel the world, not as tourist, but to pray and minister to those He leads us to.

"God has given us the task of letting the world know that if they trust Christ, they can enjoy eternal

life and an intimate relationship with God." (2 Corinthians 5:19)

 

God has given us assignments; we will go where he sends us, to declare and proclaim the decrees

of heaven, preparing  the ground for the seed of the word of God. (See Luke 10:1-12)  The first part

of our journey will take us to Southeast Asia with a slight detour to Puerto Rico and Haiti..  This website

 will record the journey and our encounters.

Lessons learned and to be learned

 

“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of

your faith produces steadfastness.  And let steadfastness have it full effect, that you may be perfect

and complete, lacking in nothing.” (James 1:2-4)

 

There are great lessons to be learned as we look back on the stages of our lives.  What we are

today is not the same as what we were years ago.  This is true for individuals, families, communities,

nations, and the world.  People were made to develop over time.  We don’t stay the same from year

to year. 

 

“Here are the stages in the journey of the Israelites when they came out of Egypt by divisions under

the leadership of Moses and Aaron.”  (Numbers 33:1)

 

Our lives are continually changing.  We don’t stay the same.  Our spiritual lives are constantly being

developed.  Looking back, we can see how the hand of God has sustained us through the years,

protected us and brought us out of danger, and drew close into an intimate relationship with him. 

The lives of George and Margaret Keller have been brought closer to perfection through trials and

disappointments.  (See their story).

 

“He humbled you, causing you to hunger and then feeding you with manna, which neither you nor

your fathers had known, to teach you that man does not live on bread alone but on every word that

comes from the mouth of the LORD.” (Deuteronomy 8:3)

 

George and Margaret cried out to God and He heard them.  They have dedicated their lives to reach

out to others with love and compassion.  Blessed with a special measure of love, the Holy Spirit leads

them to pray for those who are hurting and to tell how He delivered them out of the desert.  They

have been called to be a blessing to others and to be used by God to make Him know to others.

 

If you have special needs and want prayer, please contact George and Margaret at:

It's All About Prayer  

 

We have been collaborating with prayer groups throughout the world.  If you have a specific need please allow us to pray for you.  If you would like someone to contact you simply ask.  George and Margaret would be happy to call you (within the US or Canada at the moment). 

 

We would enjoy and appreciate learning how your prayers have been answered.  Please share how God has been responding to prayers.  Tell us if we can post them on our website.

 

What Have you Witnessed?

   

God is real, alive and working in the world.  Tell us how He has been active in your life or the lives of those close to you.  Your testimony can help others in their spiritual journey.
