Hey ihr!!!
Erst einmal wuensche ich euch allen noch ein gesegnetes neues Jahr 2009!! Ich bin gespannt welche Plaene Gott fuer mich dieses Jahr bereit haelt und vor allem wie er mich hier in Botswana einsetzen will. Ich habe mir Grosses vorgenommen fuer dieses Jahr und bete dafuer, dass Gott durch mich wirken kann.
Mein Jahreslos, das ich dieses Jahr gezogen habe ist:
„Unser HERR ist gross und von grosser Kraft, und unbegreiflich ist, wie er regiert“ Psalm 147,5
Das passt auch zur Jahreslosung 2009:
„Was bei den Menschen unmoeglich ist, das ist bei Gott moeglich.“ Lukas 18,27
Ja, Gott ist gross und von grosser Kraft und kann Unmoegliches bewirken. Wir sollten Gottes Kraft nicht unterschaetzen, sie kann alles veraendern, was fuer uns unmoeglich scheint.
Moege Gott mit euch auch unglaubliches vollbringen =)
Und jetzt habe ich fuer euch noch ne Story in Englisch =) dass ihr auch mal ein bisschen Englisch lesen duerft =) Ich habe diese Geschichte fuer die Flying Mission website geschrieben, aber ist noch nicht korrigiert, von dem her nicht auf Fehler achten =)=)
How precious is God’s word
Things in your life happen which you would have never expected before.
Last year 2008 Flying Mission handed out New Testaments at Princes Marina Hospital. We put a voucher with the message into the bibles, that people can get a whole bible and an introductory bible study-course if they come to our Town Office. After a break over New Year I prepared some English and Setswana Bibles and an introductory bible-study course for people who would come to the Town Office. Nothing really happened and I didn’t have a big hope that anybody would show up.
But then on a Wednesday morning the phone rang in our office and a lady asked if she could get a bible from our office. I was so happy that she called and she asked me what a bible would cost. When I told her that she can get it for free she was even happier than me and she came in the afternoon to get a bible, another New Testament and an introductory bible study course. She was so amazed to get so many things to learn more about the life with God that I showed her the whole bible-study course which she wanted to buy. She was also asking for a bible-study group which she could join.
She told me that her daughter was in the hospital when we distributed the New Testaments. When her daughter came home from the hospital she showed her the New Testaments and they read the message that they can get a whole bible from our Office. For the last years her family have just shared one bible. Now she is so grateful to have another one.
While I brought her back to her car and she had spoken about how she and her family have to get rid of all these traditional things. She said: ”These things cause so much trouble in our society in Botswana. I realized that since I went to church the life has become better. I can enjoy my life and live my life without fear of evil, because God is with me.”
When we got to her car she gave me some lunch which she bought for me because she was so glad to get a bible.
I’ve never thought that something like that will happen to me:
a woman comes to me and is so happy and grateful to get a bible that she even buys me lunch.
I just can say: How precious is God’s word!!!
“God’s words are
more precious than gold
than much pure gold.”
(Psalm 19:10)
Das war nicht die Tochter, aber meine Schwester (Doro) bei der bible distribution (Bibeln verteilen) im Krankenhaus
Vielen Dank an euch alle!!! =) Bis denn!!!
Liebe Gruesse, Philippus =)
