Danny Wu

This was a delightful little boy who attended the Children’s Institute in
Toronto. Heidi and I taught in the CI with young people from the Eternal Vision Ministry Team and a couple veteren CI workers.

For Heidi and I it was our first “foreign missions” experience!

The Lord has given my family and me so many wonderful opportunities to serve Him in neat places this summer.

First we started out in Nashville, TN. It is so beautiful there in the mountains. I like to tell people we sung in Nashville it makes them think we made it big. We sung at the A.T.I. Training Conference and that was a blessing to be there. We stayed at the “Fiddlers Inn”.

We actually met Mr. Gothard at McDonalds one night.

While we were there we heard my Great Grandma went home to be with the Lord so we went through Kentucky to the little town called Campton where my Mom was born. Grandma lived her whole life in that simple little town that holds so many memories for me. It was hard to say goodbye to all those neat times we had.

Kyle, Chuck and I sung “Give Us Faith” I love that song. It’s great singing with my brothers.

We went from there up North. We went to Watersmeet Michigan where the Northwoods Conference center is. We took the staff from here. We had a lot of fun with all the Philippine orphans. They were very sweet kids and their testimonies were so very real and beautiful. They cried through them in their broken and hardly understandable English sometimes. I had to sit there and hold back the tears that kept my vision blurred.

I just recently had the opportunity to go to Toronto Canada for my first Children’s Institute. That was an experience. I had so much fun and was very glad that I went. God worked in my life while I was there teaching the children. There was one little guy that especially stood out to me at first because we could not sit still. Daniel Wu was his name. I found out later he was not even supposed to be there because of his young age. But I thanked God that he was. I found myself praying he would walk close to the Lord all the days of his life. I felt a little sad that I could not be with him to continue to teach him the ways of God but I realized that God would never ever leave him or forsake him so I could rest in that. It was good being with Heidi that week too, I love her. And she just loved this little guy too. Daniel stole both our hearts.

Today as I am writing here at my desk I am thinking of the Young Ladies Retreat we will be having here this fall. I am so excited about what the Lord will do through this little retreat. I pray that he will speak to us there. I have a real burden on my heart to encourage young ladies to be the Titus 2:5 women. And not be ashamed of wanting to be all that God would have us to be. I want to speak especially to young woman with a heart for their homes. The homes they are in now and a heart for the homes they will one day have.
I pray that when they leave this retreat that God will have spoken to their hearts in encouraging them not to be ashamed of the Highest calling in the entire world–Motherhood.

I hope that you will pray with me for this retreat to be an encouragement to the young ladies that will attend October 14-16.
