Day 26 of 28

And who knows whether you have not attained royalty for such a time as this?

Simply amazing!

I was so moved and stirred by a testimony of a mother of two children.

She is a praying woman.

In late fall 2007, she had her second child, Emmanuel,

and at birth she was diagnosed with low muscle tone.

Then, mom who is from Myanmar started having dreams of strong wind

            Which came and devastated her homeland.

At first, she thought this was a weird dream.

But as the dreams continued, she was sure this is real thing which is to come.

She shared her dreams with people and some came alongside her.

She contacted people back home and told them to buy and store up food.

She contacted churches to prepared for disaster teams.

Sure enough, in May 2008, Cyclone Nargis hit Myanmar

and took away many lives and leaving millions in homelessness and helplessness.

People around her raised up nearly $800,000 to aid those homeless and helpless.

With churches mobilized in Myanmar and other helps,

            She was able to travel to Myanmar to help

            And in the process finding favor with top government officials

                        (of a country of strong dictatorship & closed to gospel)

What God could do a mom who prays and seeks God!

H.O.P.E. stands for hope.

When people of God gathers to seek God and His help,

            We become hope not only for our homes and lives

            But also of nations and peoples.

Our hope is not in horses or chariots.

Our hope is not in princes nor kings.

Our hope is in the Lord, Maker of heaven and creator of the earth.

In such a times as we are living in…

God is calling the people of H.O.P.E. to become hope of the world.

Though, small and powerless we may be, our God whom we seek is all powerful and all wise.

A mother of two praying in her home brings more hope

            Which no political leaders could bring.

A college student taking time out of her studies bring hope to her campus…

We passionately seek after God so that we may become hope we are called to be.

For God has promised Abraham, a man of faith, as he obeyed God’s call,
