The Presence of Jesus!

“Often there will come to us a sweet, joyful sense of the presence of Jesus.” (Heart Communion with God, Chapter 8).You notice the quote says, “Often!”  It surely happened again today!  We had just come back to BYT from MaeSalit, and planned to visit 2 villages by truck the next day.  We had packed the medicine already because we had met some sick people in these villages on our way in. However DJ, our neighbor told us that LaGlah village needed us.  They had come to BYT twice already looking for us.  They greatly desired that we do a worship with them because their children would go off to school the next day.  Could we come and pray for them.  Of course we would!  Early the next morning before the sun was up we began walking. I wish you could have joined us in the worship at DeHtu’s house!  They fed us lots of food – their best, and then called in the neighbors.  My favorite thing in the whole world is to sit in the midst of those who do not know Jesus but are hungering and thirsting for a knowledge of Him - eager to hear the truths of the Bible!  This time I told about Jesus blessing the children, and Jesus tender love and care for every detail of our lives.  A picture roll had the perfect picture to show.  Bible verses were read, songs were sung and prayers were said.  They long for our presence with them in their village to teach them and show them the way to live for Jesus.  They want to learn so they can be baptized and worship God the way we do!  A deep sense of the presence of Jesus thrills my soul today! "For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.  How than shall they call on Him in whom they have not believed?  And how shall they believe in Him of whom they have not heard?  And how shall they hear without a preacher?  And how shall they preach accept they be sent?"  Romans 10:13-15
