Kevin Teaching at Pastor’s Conference<\/p><\/div>\n

I knew that my good friend and brother Kevin had a lot to do with preparing the materials for this pastors conference. Finding and getting the books, \u201cThe Attributes of God,\u201d by A.W. Pink, in Spanish was quite a feat!<\/p>\n

Then I asked him how he was able to get the workbooks for the pastors to take back to their villages in Spanish? He said, \u201cMy wife translated them from English to Spanish.\u201d I inquired if his wife spoke Spanish, something I more and more wish I could do? He said that she didn\u2019t, but used an online language translator to do the translation, then asked a friend and co-worker who was a Spanish teacher to proofread and edit it.<\/p>\n

Teaching Materials . A.W. Pink<\/p><\/div>\n

I immediately thought, \u201cAre you kidding me!?\u201d Hours and hours of loving labor went into this project. I told Kevin this was amazing and his wife was amazing! He of course agreed. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Think about all the hours required and the motive behind it. It certainly moved me, and still does. The love, the sacrifice, and the courage to attempt such a thing is remarkable. Immediately, I thought of David and the Ziklag incident, where two hundred of his men were unable to go to the battle, and instead stayed with the baggage.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Conference in Progress<\/p><\/div>\n

When David returned from the battle successfully, some who didn\u2019t understand God\u2019s heart and perhaps had too great an opinion of themselves and their part in the mission\u2019s success, didn\u2019t want to share any of the reward with those who had stayed with the baggage.<\/p>\n

David, who was a man after God\u2019s own heart, told them otherwise, and it became an ordinance in Israel that day, that he who stays with the baggage shares alike with him who goes down to the battle. This story came to my mind immediately when Kevin told me about what his wife had done .<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>

Shelia at Home<\/p><\/div>\n

I personally feel that everyone who gave to this mission financially, and those who prayed shared just as much in its success as those who went. But for her sacrifice I certainly wanted to give a “shout out” to Sheila Nugent. \ud83d\ude42 I look forward to meeting her someday.\u00a0 \ud83d\ude42 May God bless her, those she loves, and everything she puts her hand too. Amen<\/p>\n

*******<\/p>\n

\u201cAnd who will listen to you in this matter? For as his share is who goes down to the battle, so shall his share be who stays by the baggage; they shall share alike.\u201d So it has been from that day forward, that he made it a statute and an ordinance for Israel to this day.<\/i>\u201d (1 Samuel 30:24\u201325)\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
