"Worry For Nothing!"



"Worry For Nothing!"

Here I am, along with VOZI's sister Pastor to rescue a total of 5 women and their children. Instead, we realize that the word of rescue got out. As we talk, they are just beyond count! I made arrangements for just 5 women and their children. Instead, more than 50 women and their children are packed up! It might even become a scramble, from what I see. 

Unfortunately, there is no way we can take 50 -- not even half that number! However, God is One who can make a way out of no way!

The Word of God says in Isaiah 43:16, 19:

16 Thus saith the Lord, which maketh a way in the sea, and a path in the mighty waters;
19 Behold, I will do a new thing; now it shall spring forth; shall ye not know it? I will even make a way in the wilderness, and rivers in the desert.
God provided, in that, we got a big bus that will seat 18 adults comfortably!

Here's another miracle --
The bus driver had an engine problem. Thus, he had to fix the vehicle. The problem was, the driver was told to return today after delivering the mothers and their children to their new location. Unfortunately, the driver's bus company instructed him to fix the tires. This meant, he would not be taking passengers after all.

Now, while talking with him, he broke down in tears telling sister pastor and myself how he lost his entire family in one night due to Islamic terrorist -- his wife and 3 kids. Now, here's a miracle: he will be taking these fleeing women and children to their new location FREE OF CHARGE! All I had to do is give him money for gas, which is one hundred U.S. dollars.

I came with $150 to this village to take 5 mothers and their children to safety. Now I am going to spend only $100 to take the women and their children to safety! And the remaining $50, the village's pastor will use the funds to purchase gas for his vehicle to take more refugees. His vehicle can transport almost an additional 20 kids!

The up and down emotions of this project was just too much for one day. Truly, this is indeed the Father's project! I have learned such a big lesson today. It's beyond amazement. The lesson learned is, "worry for nothing!" Even in a situation seeming  an impossibility, the LORD just comes through to get His matters done. Glory, glory hallelujah!

There were 61 persons total, comprising of 18 women and 43 children. They are on their way to their new location where they can start a new life, worship God in freedom, and enjoy the joy and abundant life that Christ has given to them.

It's a new day for these rescued ones. Again, 61 in total! I don't know how the vehicle could contain them all. This is the best thing that has happened to us as a ministry and for the fact that, it all happened in a space of just one month. It is just an amazement to me because the total number transferred to their new location was at least a two month project.  The LORD multiplied the numbers. He provided enough seating and funds to make the trip possible.

Herein is the beauty of this rescue --
There was total calm throughout the process -- no scrambling. Those who could not go with this first group, celebrated with those on the bus, parting with food and money. It was a scene that will be on my heart for a very long time. They hugged and cried on each other's shoulders. I saw, firsthand, perfected love shared amongst brethren. I couldn't help sharing in their tears of joy.  Romans 12:15 says: "Rejoice with them that do rejoice, and weep with them that weep."  God's Word came to life before my very eyes.

Tonight's prayer vigil will focus on the resettlement of our rescued souls. The good LORD has gone ahead of us. So, we know one miracle after the other will ensue. To God be the glory! Always!


Much blessings,
Pastor John
Servant of God
