The Natives are Wrestless

Hi all,

It's us Carolyn and Becca. "The Natives are Wrestless" does not mean what you think. Since we as believers are only pilgrims in this world. We are referring to the Spiritual Natives who long to see God's plan thwarted. Last night was extremely intense. Heavy smoke filled the air and the intensity of the spiritual battle was evident as the tabernacle was packed and even overflowing with bodies. God's Word however, went forth with much power and many, many came forward. It is absolutely incredible how receptive these people are to the purity of the Gospel Message. We have been blessed and stretched beyond measure. If it were not for having families back in the states, many of us would just stay. But we know that God has work for us in the USA. Today a session was held for the children of those who were attending the adult conference(over 4,000). The kids were packed shoulder to shoulder in a room. Hundreds of children and even babies. Again, we saw the power of the Holy Spirit move in the hearts of these children and many were saved. Several of our teens had the privilege of leading them to Christ. We are dirty, we are tired but we are filled with such joy that God would privilege us to be part of this mission. Who would have thought that such a motley crew could be used. But, that's how our God is. Takes the ordinary and turns it into something extraordinary.

See you all soon. Please Pray. Please Pray. Please Pray.

From us.

To the "Motley Crew"
Praise the Lord for this report; the way He is moving in the lives of the people there, and how He is moving in your lives as well. What an incredible picture your words brought to my mind - it gave me goose bumps! And, it made me realize that you all are feeling much like His disciples did; dirty, tired --- and amazed that the Creator of the Universe would choose to use you to further His kingdom. To God be the glory!
We are praying, and will keep praying, until we see you guys and gals face to face. It is an awesome privilege, second only to being there.
Give 'em Jesus ~
