MUCH FRUIT

I have something to tell ya'll this morning...IT'S ALL ABOUT THE TRUE VINE!! GLORY!
The harvest is ripe!
John 4:35 "Behold, I say to you, lift up your eyes and look at the fields, for they are already white for harvest!

A few weeks ago I became more sick than ever before in my life. I thought I needed a day or two away from the work so I rode with Jaden to the capital city for 2 days of "rest and relaxation". God had better plans in mind! Through the week of terrible sickness, God drew near to me and I had no choice but to BE STILL AND KNOW THAT HE IS GOD! There was nothing else I could physically do, I just had to be. Praise Him that He healed and refreshed my body and refreshed me spiritually too!
I feel since that time, He has been teaching me to abide in Him. The needs here are so overwhelming and eventhough I try not to do it in my own strength, the daily battle of just trying to give it over to God every minute wears me out in itself.
Jesus says in John 15...
"Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit in itself, unless it abides in the vine, neither can you, unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches. He who abides in Me, and I in him, bears much fruit; for without Me you can do nothing....If you abide in Me,a nd My words abide in you, you will ask what you desire, and it shall be done for you. By this My Father is glorified, that you bear much fruit; so you will be My disciples."
I so long to bear much fruit, and fruit that will last; eternal fruit. These precious people here need the TRUE VINE. They need something and someone that will last. They are desperate!
So we all have been asking God daily to show us how to abide in Him, in order that He would be glorified and famous in this place and that we will bear much fruit.
We are so unworthly, BUT HE IS SO FAITHFUL, and is amazingly showing us MUCH FRUIT!
The harvest is truly ripe... yesterday under a large shade tree in a very remote (and our most difficult refugee camp we work in) 80 people came mistakenly to receive medical treatment but 22 found THE GREAT PHYSICIAN!!
MUCH FRUIT...22 names are written in the Book of Life after yesterday! HALLELUJAH! Praise the True Vine!
Please keep praying. Please keep giving. Please keep going. The harvest is ripe and this fruit is eternal!

Humbly-
