Twelve years ago Vongsa (Laos)was sick. She thought she was dying when a lady visited her house, prayed for her and left behind a small bible scripture booklet. “This changed my life” she said “This a s a day I will never forget”.

She went straight to a nearby church and over time became well. Vongsa knows that God speaks through Scripture to change people’s lives.

She is now a pastor in Laos having worked as a government official in the communist run country of Laos.

The answer to our moral problems is not found in relativism or rules, but in relationship—a transforming personal engagement with the only One who can change human hearts.

Wise King Solomon noted, “The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge; fools despise wisdom and instruction” (Proverbs 1:7).  King David said to God, “With you is the fountain of life; in your light do we see light” (Psalm 36:9).

Solomon also observed, “Whoever trusts in his own mind is a fool, but he who walks in wisdom will be delivered” (Proverbs 28:26).

Moses (Exodus3)

⁵ “Do not come any closer,” the Lord warned. “Take off your sandals, for you are standing on holy ground. ⁶ I am the God of your father^[—the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob.” When Moses heard this, he covered his face because he was afraid to look at God.

⁷ Then the Lord told him, “I have certainly seen the oppression of my people in Egypt. I have heard their cries of distress because of their harsh slave drivers. Yes, I am aware of their suffering. ⁸ So I have come down to rescue them from the power of the Egyptians and lead them out of Egypt into their own fertile and spacious land.

Samuel( 1 Sam 16)

Now the Lord said to Samuel, “You have mourned long enough for Saul. I have rejected him as king of Israel, so fill your flask with olive oil and go to Bethlehem. Find a man named Jesse who lives there, for I have selected one of his sons to be my king.”

² But Samuel asked, “How can I do that?

Isaiah  (6)

It was in the year King Uzziah died^] that I saw the Lord. He was sitting on a lofty throne, and the train of his robe filled the Temple. ² Attending him were mighty seraphim, each having six wings. With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they flew. ³ They were calling out to each other,

⁴ Their voices shook the Temple to its foundations, and the entire building was filled with smoke.

⁵ Then I said, “It’s all over! I am doomed, for I am a sinful man. I have filthy lips, and I live among a people with filthy lips. Yet I have seen the King, the Lord of Heaven’s Armies.”

⁶ Then one of the seraphim flew to me with a burning coal he had taken from the altar with a pair of tongs. ⁷ He touched my lips with it and said, “See, this coal has touched your lips. Now your guilt is removed, and your sins are forgiven.”

The religious anti-poverty organization Jubilee USA Network is calling on international lenders to grant debt relief to Vanuatu. In mid-March, Cyclone Pam struck the string of small Pacific islands with winds up to 165 miles per hour. The category 5 storm destroyed or damaged nearly every building in the capital city and wiped out crops across the country. The United Nations warns that entire islands are facing imminent starvation and its President says the “monster” storm undid the nation’s recent economic development. Vanuatu owes approximately $84 million to international lenders, including nearly $10 million to the World Bank

I wish to bow before your feet

And sing your Holy Praises

For you, the focus of my life

A welling spring within

My heart and mind forever yours

Though often I may stray

Your love, it puts me back on course

For you’re the Lord I praise

All my sins I give to you

For none of us are perfect

That’s why today and every day

I come. I honour, I worship.

Her recent blog for the Daily Beast broke the news: “Why I’m Coming Out as a Christian.”  Ana is emphatic: “To be clear, I don’t just believe in God.  I am a Christian.”  She adds that “decades of mass culture New Ageism has fluffed up ‘belief in God’ into a spiritual buffet, a holy catch-all for those who want to cover all the numbers. . . . Me, I’m going all in with Jesus.”

“Because before I found God, I had an unconsciously manufactured higher power: I spent a lifetime trying to earn extra credit from some imaginary teacher, grade-grubbing under the delusion that my continued mistakes—missed assignments, cheating, other nameless sins—were constantly held against me.”

Ana (Washington)

Just wanted to say how much I enjoyed today’s service, the boys from Vision of Hope are a real eye opener to how far Gods love can reach, can’t wait to be able to go and visit the farm and meet more of the boys and thank the staff for what they are doing there.
God Bless you all
