Joshua 1:9 (New International Version)

⁹ Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be terrified; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go."

--Another verse for Jake :D

Today, my brother in Christ, Jacob leaves for Turkey. The day is sad, and the weather is cold. But our hearts are rejoicing in the Lord. In the flesh, Jacob is leaving us. But in reality he is still in our hearts. Still walking with us, encouraging us in the Lord. The Lord has called him to Turkey, to teach his Word, and to be a light in a dark room. Can any of us honestly say we would take the step of faith that Jake and many others have taken? Trusting in the Lord, even if it doesn't seem possible. I would like to say I would. But I know myself all to well, so, at the same time. Maybe I wouldn't. Would I be like Jonah and run? What would you do?

Jake has listened to what he knows the Lord has called him to do. So lets give him our support. Please pray for Jacob's traveling, and his stay over in Turkey for the next six months. Please pray he stays safe.

I can't wait to hear all the amazing stories he will have for us.

May God be with you,

Hollianne

⁷It is right for me to feel this way about all of you, since I have you in my heart; for whether I am in chains or defending and confirming the gospel, all of you share in God's grace with me.⁸God can testify how I long for all of you with the affection of Christ Jesus.

⁹And this is my prayer: that your love may abound more and more in knowledge and depth of insight, ¹⁰so that you may be able to discern what is best and may be pure and blameless until the day of Christ, ¹¹filled with the fruit of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ—to the glory and praise of God.
