For the Love of God.

"We ought not to be weary of doing little things for the love of God"

We are so thankful for the body of Christ! In God’s amazing providence He sent us a team from two churches in Georgia to come and help us with the mission for a week. They came just in time to help us make the “Round Robin” guesthouse ready for one of our missionaries to stay! Thanks to their hard work and generosity the “R.R.” guesthouse is fully furnished (except for the kitchen), and we now have both camp bath houses finished and functioning!

God knows what we need, and he sent people with the specific skills needed to bless this mission. An engine mechanic came that helped work on nearly all the vehicles and equipment on base which saved Vann so much time working on maintenance! One of the team members was a plumber at one point in his life and he finished all the hookups for the camp bath houses as well as fixing up the camp well pump. One of the pastors spent a considerable amount of time bush hogging the pastures – which is always on Vann’s never-ending to-do list. Everyone worked so hard with sweet, servant’s hearts painting bathroom vanities, hanging mirrors and curtains, making beds in the “R.R.” - for which they purchased ALL the mattresses needed for the four sets of bunkbeds – Praise God!

They framed out the windows for the little house to be dried-in soon, and even served breakfast and washed dishes every day to help ease my load. It is a beautiful thing when the body of Christ works together for the singular goal of the spread of the gospel to the nations. We feel so blessed by our churches coming to visit who encourage us and work beside all of us here on Petra base. Thank you, First Baptist of Blue Ridge, GA and Altamaha Baptist Church, of Jesup, GA for coming and serving so sacrificially - all for the love of God!

Sometimes, our days feel full of menial work that does not seem very glamorous, but we have to kill our pride and be willing to do the little things that God has set before us to do for the Kingdom and for the love of God! Jesus is coming again, any day now, and what are you doing about it? Are you ready to meet the King of Glory and give an account of your life? Please, surrender your life to Him while you have breath, grow in your knowledge and love for Him until every little thing you do is for His glory and for the love of God.

“That we ought not to be weary of doing little things for the love of God, who regards not the greatness of the work, but the love with which it is performed.” - Brother Lawrence
