Oh...I am just having a fit over God today! He's been too, too, too, too good! Here's a quick recap...and a big prayer request!
1. Anli is going to our Georgia WMU missions camp next week. We don't know a soul that is going! So, this morning I asked God if He would send her a friend. She is not at all anxious, but my mommy heart wants her to have a friend. Many groups bring their GA groups and and so they have a built in "cabin buddy" already when they get there.
So...this morning as I got an email from Beth Ann Williams who works at WMU/WEM part of the Georgia Baptist Convention. She has invited me to go on a vision trip with about 10 other ladies in August and so we have been emailing back and forth. I mentioned Anli would be going to camp Pinnacle...and she shot me back an email that HER DAUGHTER is going the SAME week and ALONE too! GET OUT!
So...she got right on the phone and MADE SURE that our girls would be in the same cabin together. God, you are too, too, too good!
2. Then, we headed up to Lifetime for me to work out (getting in our new summer schedule!) and then we headed out to the pool to swim. Well, as I was playing catch with the girls in the pool, a lady and her daughter swam up to us. She asked how old my girls were and if they would mind playing with her daughter! Um..SURE!!! She and talked for a while and she is from Germany.
We made plans to meet together and let the girls play at Lifetime on Tuesdays! I talked about church and she never made a peep about her faith...so pray that God will use this time together to share the love of Jesus. Pray for Susan and Isabella! God, you bring countries right to us...You are too, too, too good!
3. Lastly, I got an email this morning inviting me (and my whole family!) to Clarkston, Georgia. There is a government run refugee camp in Clarkston, GA. There will be over 1,500 refugees come to Clarkston THIS SUMMER from Bhutan, Burundi, and Iran (many other places too). Almost ALL those in Clarkston are Muslim.
There are several churches, ministries, and relief agencies working in Clarkston and I was told about this about 2 months ago. I connected with a lady there through WMU and a lady who has a Burundian outreach in a home contacted me! Talk about amazing!!
I can't WAIT to go to Clarkston! I can't wait to see thousands of women, men, and children from all over the world in ONE place...talk about HEAVEN!
Jay will be meeting with one of the leaders of World Relief about church involvement. The girls and I will be going to a meeting of Burundian ladies and I have been asked to share my testimony! Please pray as I will be speaking through an interpreter from Rwanda. I just can't wait to go...and it's TOGETHER as a family. LOVE IT!
*Pray that the girls will surpass the language barrier and just have fun with African kids.
*Pray that I have the words to share that God alone desires.
*Pray that God will clearly show us the ministries He wants us to join in Clarkston.
*Pray for Jay's meeting with Joshua and that he would discern God's plan for our church.
*Pray that God will keep Susan and Isabella coming on Tuesdays as we planned.
*Pray that we will be constantly aware of opened doors to share the love of Jesus!

God is doing a major work in the lives of the Worthington Family. How exciting! I wanted to let you know that I went to Camp Pinnacle every year as a GA and LOVED IT!!! It is one of my favorite places. We actually went back there for a ladies retreat about 10 years ago and it was really neat to go back to where I have so many fond memories. She will have a great time..I will pray for you guys.
