YES 30 years!! Sort of slipped up on us too. While celebrating our dear friend, and fellow missionary, Kathleen Dillard and her 30 years as a missionary, it dawned on us… Wow, 30 years (plus 10 months) since we wrote our first VOB News in January 1996 when we left NC embarking on our adventures, with the Lord, that only He knew where all would take us. This month marks our 290th newsletter.
We were blessed to cram 25 people in our little house for a meeting with Kathleen. What a powerful time of sharing and intercession! Everyone jumped right in when we moved into worship and prayer, and it was an honor to introduce Kathleen to so many new faces, and to see how inspired people were. Wherever the Lord puts us, we want to inspire others.
VOB and Global Tabernacle of David, were able to cohost a weekend of worship around the area. On Friday night, we led an evening of worship and prayer over the nations at our church, Center City Church. Again, people jumped in to pray for the nations and further the Kingdom of GOD thru worship and intercession. And creative demonstrations of worship art.
Saturday, our group took worship and intercession out into the community. We had a powerful time of blessing the land at the Snow Camp NC historical site, worshiping at the place where Quaker people aided slaves on the Underground Railroad, and ministered to the wounded of both sides during the Revolutionary war. This area is drenched in profound history. We are honored to pray on the land and worship the Lord together, to see His Kingdom come and His will be done in our country! Followed by a lovely night of community worship at the Hornaday properties mill dam, built in the late1700’s. (Like I said, such an historical area!). The tall trees opening up to the beautiful starry sky, with a bonfire and all the sounds of the land, contributed to an especially profound evening of worshiping our Creator, the Lord Most High.
On Sunday morning, 3 of us from Gtod (David, Carol & Marta), were able to share at Center City Church again during the morning service. We were able to share personal stories, Biblical teaching, and practical application of how we can each contribute to the advancement of the Kingdom of GOD, and be missional in our day to day walk, as well as dedicated times of worship and prayer. We are seeing a great break-thru coming for this part of the world, in the move of the Lord. Voice of the Bride is so excited to be a part of this—-‘for such a time as this’ (book of Esther).
Thank you for praying. You carry us with your prayers, as you labor with us in delivering the Good News wherever and whenever we can!
Would you also consider sowing financially as well? We have some opportunities coming up where costs are involved.
Love, Wayne & Carol
