This weekend, when our society honors the priceless privilege of being a mother, Debbie shares most of a letter Verlin wrote to her for Mother’s Day many years ago. This was probably when our older two offspring were teenagers. She keeps this note in her Bible as a reminder of the priceless privilege of Christian motherhood and her desire to grow exponentially into a more Godly influence as a woman and mother. He typed out all the Bible verses for his points, but we copy just one in each category to save space:

“Being a mother is a position of privilege… (Gen. 24:60)
And they blessed Rebekah, and said unto her, ‘Thou art our sister, be thou the mother of thousands of millions, and let thy seed possess the gate of those which hate them.

Being a mother is a position of power…(Lev. 19:3; Lev. 20:9; Deut. 5:16)
Ye shall fear every man his mother, and his father, and keep my sabbaths: I am the Lord your God.—Lev 19:3

Being a mother is a position of recognition… (2 Chron. 20:31; Lk. 2:42)
And Jehoshaphat reigned over Judah: he was thirty and five years old when he began to reign…And his mother’s name was Azubah, the daughter of Shilhi.—2 Chron. 20:31

Being a mother is a position of responsibility…(Matt. 10:37; 2 Tim. 1:5-6)
When I call to remembrance the unfeigned faith that is in thee, which dwelt first in thy grandmother Lois, and thy mother Eunice; and I am persuaded that in thee also. Wherefore I put thee in remembrance...—2 Tim. 1:5-6

Thank you for studying to show yourself approved as a mother, a most dominating and influential person in our household for the sake of our Lord and His dominion.”

Come and See (Psalm 34:8)

Verlin arrived safely in Accra, Ghana, on public transport mid-week. As this update comes to you on Saturday, he leaves lodging to board an international flight to Phoenix. In a change of plans, Debbie will fly on Tuesday to join him for the International Wholistic Missions Conference (IWMC). We will return to Tennessee on Saturday and travel to Michigan a few days later. It will be a joy to see Verlin’s mother (she and Verlin have not been together in over 2 years) as we visit ministry partners there.

Prayer & Praise

• 🙏 Pray for our Ivorian brother Emmanuel as he travels to the US for the conference in Phoenix. He knows just a few words in English! Pray for excellent outcomes at the conference.
  
  
• 🙏 Praise God for the priceless privilege of motherhood! We rejoice in the example of our wonderful mothers, who love Jesus and His work and support us unwaveringly. Pray for mothers you know who struggle to fulfill their God-given roles in hard circumstances.
  

Your partners in the Gospel,
