Email: Heart4thenations3282@proton.me   Friends! Last Friday I got a text, then a voicemail from Matt Willis, the missions pastor from Calvary Baptist Church. Matt is leading a small team going to South Asia this fall. He said he’s buying the plane tickets now, “are we good to leave early morning September 29?”  Why yes, early morning works! I won’t sleep the night before a trip overseas anyway so might as well leave as early as possible! Excited and a little nervous, I realize it is past time to let you in on where the Lord is leading me. God is doing something very special in South Asia right now. Even though the country is very hostile to Christianity in general, God is moving among their people. Almost 80% of its’ billion plus citizens are Hindu, and 14% of the people follow the Islamic faith. The Christian church faces great persecution there. Believers are threatened, isolated, and even killed for simply following and proclaiming Christ to their friends, family, ...

 So... last Monday was very good, I know many demons left me as the ladies prayed for me and cast them out. There were stubborn spirits, snakes, other crawly things, I heard them mention Jezebel, Leviathin, and a religious spirit, and a rebellious spirit. That's all I remember. That night though, I was attacked and couldn't get the demons off me. I even sang praise songs and prayed some Mountain Fire prayers before laying down, but it was game over the next two nights, and I was super discouraged.  Wednesday kicked off a three day dull headache that kinda knocked me out, when I was already depressed, I couldn't think to read my Bible or pray, so I felt disconnected from the Lord those days as well. Friday night/Sat morning, I got violently sick and puked my guts out. Sat. night the demons came at me again.  Sunday came though. I was beat up and tired but got up and spent some time with Jesus before church. I went to Central. Sometimes I don't follow the preaching as wel...

 So... I am starting to open up to new people, slowly but surely. Or, I'm opening up to people I didn't expect to. Maybe a little out of desperation. I have a lot of loose ends from 2021, and before that and after... and I have very very few who know much of anything about me. It just, it does take time for relationships to develop, and you know, if I just started sharing my deepest darkest secrets to someone the first time I met them, I'm sure I would never see them again because that's actually unhealthy, even I can see that. It's just been painful to have no one for so long, when... I feel I've always been blessed with strong community. Sometimes it takes a little time to find, but... it's there.  I remember... I think it's in Bonhoeffer's book Life Together... but he warns about comparing communities, and having the same expectations of one that you experienced in another. I think that's wise... I've compared communities in the past, and ...
