Child of God…

We have welcomed 9 new trainees for 2016, 4 students from Bethel College in Indiana, and 12 guys from all over the African continent.  The diversity is awesome, and it gives all of us a glimpse of what we will experience in heaven.

In Psalms 86:9 it states, all the nations you have made will come and worship before you, O Lord, and shall glorify your name.

The trainees (pictured below) will be with J-life for a full year.

The Bethel College students (pictured below) will be with us for 1 semester.

The guys from all over Africa (pictured below) will be with us for 5 weeks.  A few of these guys, Lord willing, will be our new J-life country leaders in some of the hardest to reach areas in North Africa.  One of Rob’s biggest highlights since he has been here is sitting with this group of men, and hearing their testimonies, daily struggles, and perseverance against such adversity.

Thank you Lord for letting us be a part of what you are doing in North Africa.

Below is a video of a song that touched many hearts.  We did a men’s/women’s weekend that is designed to teach us that we are NOT who the world says we are, we are NOT defined by our past hurts, sins, failures, or successes but we are defined by what Jesus has already accomplished on the cross.

I am no longer a slave to fear, I am a child of God.
