Glimpses of the Victory in the Midst of the Battle

It can seem at times that we are surrounded by the battle. Often there is the feeling that all will be lost if this present battle is not won. Surrounded by impossible mountains of problems and discouragements, a soul can be driven to the point of despair.

The truth is, the victory is already won. We are victors in Christ. One glimpse of this victory reignites the weary soul with a fire that changes the world.

Isa 40:31 But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.

In the last few months we have faced so many problems and seemingly impossible circumstances, but God has given glimpses of the real victory that have served to inspire and renew us for the battle. Many of these battles are still in progress and cannot be reported upon at this present time. Please hold us up in prayer.

To spite these "unmovable Mountains", God has given us these wonderful glimpses of His victory:

  • An anonymous donor loaned Vivian the remaining funds so that she can attend Bible College
  • My fathers' successful prostate surgery
  • Vivian received her student permit and purchased her plane ticket for America.
  • Olli was baptized and is growing in the Lord.
  • After 12 years of patience, we have seen progress toward our permanent resident permits.
  • Our church is finally big enough to set up a state recognized corporate identity so that we can open a bank account. This will also allow us to give out donor receipts for tax purposes.
  • Our evangelistic team is starting back up after a time of job related interruptions.

Present needs:

  • The needed funds to pay Vivian's interest-free loan back as soon as possible
  • Healing for my father, A.B. Sudbrock, and a cancer free status
  • Vivian's flight and her continued submission to God's will.
  • God's hedge about our people
  • Success of our evangelistic team and our summer outreach project
  • Our furlough preparations
  • Needed new support and funds for continued effective ministry in Wittenberg, Germany

Please continue to pray for our ministry. Without prayer it is impossible to see the victory. Please sign up for email updates so that you can pray for current needs.
