JESSICA in JAPAN











{December 8, 2008}   A time for FAITH growing!!

This is a graph showing how the Australian dollar has dropped in value compared with the Yen over the past 2 years.

This graph doesn’t look good does it…to be honest,  it even scares me a bit as I think about how our support getting through to Japan has dropped 50% in the last 3 months.

How will we live? How will we eat? Pay for language lessons?

I’ve prayed about this a fair bit.

Each time I pray I get the same message from God.

‘Nothings changed!  I still love you and care for your every need. I’m not controlled by what goes on in the world. I am a powerful and big God. Trust me. Trust me for all your needs. I will provide’.

A big challange, or an opportunity to draw closer to God?

I think both :o )

Hello Jess, just wondering how things are going now? Have you drawn closer to God or has it been a big challenge?



Jessica says:

Things are going well…though sometimes I think I need to relearn this lesson each month when the bank statement comes in from Australia.

I’m learning a lot about holding onto things loosely, and have found over and over again then when God challenges Ben and I to give things/money to other people in need – God truly takes care of us and our needs.
