Andy and I have spent a great deal of time musing over our friend in Prison. We feel that we are being led to move further on with this and by the grace of God we wish to know his will and not our own. With this in mind we have felt a great need for us to offer ourselves in prayer and fasting to God. After much discussion tonight (Christmas eve) we feel it right and necessary for us to set aside a day of prayer for Steven. We will be visiting Steven in prison on Tuesday 30th December and have decided through prayer that this is the day we would like to set aside as intercession for Steven.
The reason we are both putting this on our blogs is that we would be so very grateful if any of you feel called, that you would join us in prayer for this day. We are also so very conscious that we want to follow Gods will, and are seeking out how God wants to use us, if at all. We cannot presume that the thoughts we have are the desires of our God and we want to be sure that God is guiding us in whatever way he chooses and not the way we choose or desire.
So, if you feel it is right for you we would love if on the 30th December we could set this day aside for prayer for Steven and that Andy and I are humble enough to place ourselves in the hands of God and have him do what he wishes.
Your support in this is so very much appreciated and we thank you for all the kind words we have received from you all and the ongoing encouragement. We also thank you for the financial support we have received for the work here.
God bless you all at this wonderful time of year when we celebrate the birth of Jesus.
We also want to say thank you for those who have pledged money for us to help others whilst we are out here. God Bless you all. it is wonderful to see our family at home supporting is and the people here in Nicaragua. We assure you all money pleadged will be given directly to people who need it, or used to purchase items needed. THANK YOU!
For those interested, I have a concurrent blog which is going on about the spiritual side of things and a book I am reading at the moment and life here. Its at www.brendantquinn1.blogspot.com, or go to the my profile thing on the right and you get to it there. Its only ramblings but If it is at all helpful to anyone else then great, if not, no worries, its how I get things into my head. just thought I would sling it up in case anyone does get something from it.
