It is clear that in this moment, this historic moment, of unrest, chaos and uncertainty, we are in desperate need of peace, unity and healing.
There are so many concerns our nation, and the nations of the world are facing which cause us to feel hopeless and discouraged.
What do we do in times like this?
We only have one option. We must turn wholeheartedly to Jesus, the King of kings, the Prince of Peace , the author and finisher of our faith.
In Jesus our eternity is secure, He is the anchor of hope for our souls. In Him we find the peace, hope and joy we need to carry us through each day.
During this time in quarantine, I find myself drawing closer to Him, spending time in the bible and learning more about His character.
For every word we read is true.God is not a man who can lie. As we spend time in God’s presence, in worship, in His word and in prayer, we grow in our relationship with Him, He is the one who created each one of us to know Him personally.
“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.”
Romans 15:13
Despite everything that is going on around us, I pray at this moment that we would each draw closer to Jesus, and pray for peace, justice, hope, unity, and health over our nation and nations of our world.
“And His name will be the hope of all the world.”
Matthew 12:21
We may never understand fully what is going on, we have questions but God isn’t afraid of our questions. We can learn to press into
deeper levels of trust in this season of life and exercise our “faith muscles” as we continue to trust Jesus.
What does this mean for PNN projects?
Thank God our staff, our house moms and our children in Ghana are all doing well! I face time with the children several times per week and they send their love. The children are safe and being cared for by our incredibly hard working mothers during this time. We praise God for His continued provision, health and growth.
Our plans for the opening in Zambia will proceed at the appropriate time. God’s plans and His timing are surely not ours but we rest and remain in faith that this vision will surely come to pass.
Until then we ask that you kindly join our team in prayer for each child that will call the future Village of Joy their new home. Pray that Jesus will continue to protect them.
I can rest in Jesus. Everything that He has spoken WILL come to pass because He is faithful.
“Jesus Christ is the same yesterday and today and forever.”
Hebrews 13:8
Praying for each of you today,
Love,
Devon
