Back in Merry Old England

Hello everybody,

We would first like to thank you all so much for your support and prayers for us in this time. Papa and I (Sarah) are doing well and are excited by what God has and is doing in our lives! But before we give any updates we would like to first fully explain how we got here.

For those who don’t know, the reason we are here is because of Papa’s mother’s failing health.

Around May of this year I was talking with our Father God when He communicated that He had something important to tell me. I listened and waited and soon had a vision. In my vision I found myself on one of the many white chalk cliffs of south downs (Papa’s home area in England). I looked around and saw in the distance a man pushing an old woman in a wheel chair with a woman walking by his side. (You can imagine my confusion as to what God was trying to say to me!) As they came closer to me I saw that it was my father and myself with my gran (grandmother). Then God spoke to me in my vision saying, “You will go with your father to England this year to see your gran” then the strong impression of ‘October’ was left with me.

I was very confused by this message as I had just recently been to England earlier that year and also despite the fact that Papa had not seen his mother in years there was no great need for him to be there that we knew of. But I knew that I had heard from God so I shared my vision with Papa and together we submitted our confusion to God and gave ourselves to His will.

A month or so later we heard from family members that gran’s health was deteriorating quickly and we were encouraged that if we could we should try to come out and see her. We were amazed by this news because of what we had just heard from the Lord but we were even further amazed when a great emphasis was being placed on the month of October! My father’s sister’s birthday is the same day as my gran’s in October and plans were being made around us for that time frame. My father found himself being encouraged to travel in the month of October!

So, we knew God’s will was with us but we had no money to travel on. Papa and I went before our mighty God and submitted the situation to Him and asked Him to do His will in our lives. Very soon after this we received communication from a community of Christians that they felt led to give toward Papa’s trip. The money we received from them would cover about half of one ticket but this was enough for Papa to, by faith, book both tickets. A mere two or three hours later we received further communication from individuals from the same Christian community that they would like to give towards Papa’s trip! And amazingly his ticket was payed for in full within the day of Papa’s step of faith!

Then there was me. You can imagine my wondering why God would want me to go with my father, with money being as tight as it is. It seemed frivolous that I should go as well but God confirmed in my heart that I was to go.

So, I submitted myself to His will again and waited for His direction. Under God’s guidance, an individual came to me and told me that God had told them to pay for my ticket! Praise God!

We flew out a few days later and here we are! God has been so good to us and has blessed us immensely! And that is the story of how we are here in England. Please keep us in your prayers as we seek to use our time wisely.
