We're in this together

Before I left for India, I came across an incredible Bible passage that I knew was for our Oasis partners... I Samuel 30.

You're gonna love this...

David and his men returned home to Ziklag and found their town had been ransacked, their wives and children kidnapped and their homes burned. He and his men were so overwhelmed in sorrow that Unbelievable sorrow filled their soul!

When they regained their composure, they sought the Lord, and He said to pursue the invading army. So they did. 600 warriors continued their journey to find their families, but 200 of them were so weary from the journey that they stayed behind at a brook and guarded the army supplies while the other 400 continued on. Along the way, they found one of the men who had burned their town. He had been left to die of a sickness. But David gave him food, and found out from him where the enemy was hiding.

Long story short, David and his men recovered all their family members and spoil. Everyone was happy. ALL had been recovered.

But the 400 men who participated in their rescue did not want to share the spoils with the 200 that had stayed behind with the supplies. They reasoned that the spoils should only go to those who risked their lives. But David saw it differently. Listen...

I Samuel 30:24

David was saying that everyone is part of our team. We ALL participate together to bring glory to God.

Sometimes we think that only those that 'GO' to the mission field are blessed. But God's word tells us that those who 'SEND' or "STAY BY THE SUPPLIES" are also included in the rewards to follow. Your prayers and support are noticed in heaven! THANKS for letting us be on your team... together we will reap a great harvest!

Please pray for us as we represent you in India!
