Answered Prayers

Hey guys, Michael checking in this time. Yesterday I did laundry for the first time and I found that I am very thankful for washing machines. Hand washing all of your clothes is quite the task. Well, we are halfway through with our second group here in Harmons. Thankfully, we have had two great groups so far. Week 1 we had 2 churches, one from Pennsylvania and one from Kansas. The groups from these two churches were an answer to prayer. I believe that the rest of the Summer Staff will agree with me that they made it easy for us each to go about doing our jobs and easing into our positions with having an actual group here. This was no easy task as Loyd was battling an illness all week, but God provided everything that we needed. This week our group is from Missouri. After having such a good group in week one, I was a little concerned with how this week would go. But once again God answered our prayers. We have been blessed with another great group to serve with this week.

Through the short time that we have been here in Harmons, we have seen God working in amazing ways. As I have already mentioned, God has already answered so many of our prayers and provided what we need. Through my own personal devotions I have been reading through the book of Romans. In chapter 4:23-31, we read over the Believers’ Prayer for courage and boldness in speaking in wisdom and in truth. In the following chapters we can read numerous accounts of how God answered that prayer of the Apostles. What an encouragement it is to know that God will answer our prayers, and we thank each one of you who are praying for Harmons daily.

The past two nights have been the first clear nights we have had to lay out on the deck and gaze at the stars. What a humbling experience it is to look out into the night and realize the amazing power of God in all of creation. We are just one small piece of creation, yet God loves us more than what we could ever imagine. What an amazing thing to think about.

Once again, I would like to thank everyone for their continuous prayers for Harmons and our staff here. It is such a comfort to know that people are praying and that God is answering each of those prayers.

In Christ,
Michael
