Dear Praying Friend,
God has been doing some amazing things in our lives this last month. In our June letter, we asked you to pray for Becky’s Mom. Becky also was praying and asking God to show her definitely if it was His will for her to go home and see Mom that He would make it plain to us. The middle of July, Joan Smith, from Bingham Academy, asked Becky if she would be willing to make a trip home to the States to bring back excess baggage for the school. How definite can you get? We were amazed and praised God for Becky’s chance to go home and see Mom. She left on August 6 and returned August 31 to Ethiopia. But the story doesn’t stop there!
It actually didn’t stop there. God gave her a chance to talk with Anthony on the plane. Anthony’s sister is a Christian and has been witnessing to him, as well. He is a Catholic and considers himself a good person. Pray for his salvation.
It wasn’t over yet! Waiting to get on the plane in Chicago, she thought she heard her name called. She went up to the check-in at the gate and asked if they had called her name. They said, “No.” But, she asked them to look at her papers and see if everything was in order. They looked and said, “Yes, we do need to talk with you. How many boxes do you have and where is your receipt?” So on showing the receipt they told her she hadn’t paid enough. Becky had time to go way out to the front of the airport to pay the additional charges.
It was a wonderful experience to sit and watch God work. Now that we are back in the “routine”, please continue to pray for us that we will sit and let God do the driving! Even just while writing this prayer letter, the computer crashed two times. So after talking to God about it, now all is well. We want God to receive all the glory for His mighty working. Praise God with us!
To God be the glory,
Harold & Becky Jongeward
