Busy Week

Saturday kicked off what will be a wild week of agricultural trainings. We had roughly 120+ in attendance who were very attentive for the three hour session. What we are most excited about is that the heart of the day focussed on how great our Father is. May He receive all the glory this week.....we would treasure your prayers for the other three field days scheduled for this week. To view a short clip of what happened Saturday click the included link:

Little Elise

What's In A Name

Recently we shared with you that Elise received the honor of having a little girl named after her. Little Elise was the product of what started as an anxious pregnancy. Her mother had been struggling with fear surrounding the pregnancy. We prayed for her and spoke life over little unborn Elise. Her safe delivery has been a prophetic sign of God's faithfulness to her family.

Today we were invited to attend little Elise's formal introduction to the community. In the Tonga culture a child is not allowed to be taken outside of the house for the first full month of it's life. This belief is ultimately rooted in witchcraft and the fear that evil spirits might enter the weak and vulnerable child. Today proved a perfect opportunity to celebrate with this dear family and remind them that there is no name or spirit above the name of Jesus. We prayed a blessing over little Elise and the family and then departed.......one source states the meaning of the name Elise to be....."My God is a vow"....more to come.......
