The Infinite Riches in Jesus

Our family's favorite hymn was penned by Annie Johnson Flint.

He giveth more grace when the burdens grow greater,
He sendeth more strength when the labors increase;
To added affliction, He addeth His mercy,
To multiplied trials, His multiplied peace.

His love has no limit, His grace has no measure,
His power has no boundary known unto men;
For out of His infinite riches in Jesus,
He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again!

When we have exhausted our store of endurance
When our strength has failed ere the day is half done,
When we reach the end of our hoarded resources,
Our Father's full giving is only begun.

His love has no limit, His grace has no measure,
His power has no boundary known unto men;
For out of the inifinite riches in Jesus,
He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again!

So many of you keep emailing, sending cards and letting us know you are praying for us these days! We are SO GRATEFUL! We must confess...rather than feeling the weight of greater burdens, or increased labors, we are sensing His infinite riches and are finding joy, and hope, and excitment in each new day. That is His dear presence through your faithful prayers...thank you!

Jesus has met us many times in the last week. Elsie Jayne had one final birthday bash once we made it home to Arua where I could make her a cake! :) She had another American/British friend who was turning three the same week, so we celebrated together.

The next day we went to Nebbi for the final exam. Jesus helped us all three (four), but it was a LONG day. We left just after seven and reached home just before six in the evening! Elsie Jayne was a trooper with no real nap all day. It was hard on her though and that is the day we decided we might not all go to Sudan this weekend for training. You may need to be one and a half or two to do international road trips with no naps!

Billy has made it safely to Yei, Sudan and has met up with some of our pastors there already. The rest will join them today. Please pray as he was met with some exciting inquiries from the guys about what the future of WGM Sudan might look like. It's exciting how we all have ideas and in these begining stages we can lay them all on the table, but pray with us that the men might be eager to meet with Jesus and know HIS PLANS and PURPOSES for WGM Sudan and the days ahead!
