Billy in South Africa

Two weeks ago, I had the privilege to go with six other guys to South Africa for a Wild At Heart Boot Camp offered by Ransomed Heart Ministries. Jesus was so present and real, I honestly believe I can testify for the whole lot of us - We met with God. It was brilliant. Thank you for your prayers. Afterwards, I got to spend a few days with my cousin processing what Jesus had said at the boot camp and showing him (my cousin) some of South Africa's beauty. Jesus is very good.

This is me with Dr. Ben Roberts - He is the eye specialist at Tenwek Hospital and we have worked together before, trying to combine Bible storytelling with sharing the Good News to eye patients. I was so glad he came to the boot camp.

 

Laurence and I at the end of the continent of Africa. Absolutely Brilliant.

So many of you were praying for Joanna and the girls while I was gone. Thank you. We are very grateful.

 

I leave again today for Burundi for a Bible storytelling training with a whole new group of pastors. WGM has had ministry in Burundi but long ago. God has opened up opportunities there again and we are excited to go and offer this training. 

 

Could you please pray: 1.) For strength for Joanna to be with the girls without me. Specifically could you pray for sleep at night for everyone! 2.) For hungry participants at the training, that the time around the Word would be filled with the presence of Jesus.

 

Thank you for being on our team. We are so grateful.

The PEACE of God...

which is beyond all understanding,

will guard your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus!

 Phil. 4:7

He maketh peace in thy borders...Psalm 147:14

Isn't that a lovely promise!? He makes peace where we are! He is peace where He is! So thankful for Jesus' nearness tonight!

Billy is traveling this week. He has gone to South Africa for a Wild At Heart BootCamp with some WGM East Africa colleagues and his cousin! What an incredible opportunity to grow in Jesus, process, be refreshed and revived and LIVE life with other men who love him and love Jesus! Will you pray with us that all of God's good purposes are accomplished in these days?!

Billy is actually traveling a lot in the next weeks and we, the Coppedge ladies, invite you to pray with us for those journeys and ministries but also for all Jesus entrusts to us right here...within our own borders!
