Read Lamentations 3.22-24 when you get a minute! It will bless you...I was having a rough day last week and decided to go off my reading plan and read Lamentations. Five little short chapters I thought to myself. Right in the middle of reading those chapters, I stopped to ask myself (you are crazy if you DON'T talk to yourself), "why are you reading this Dee?" Because that day I had a lament...Jeremiah wrote his lament in Lamentations and asked God why...why had He forsaken them? You may be asking yourself why today. Why did your house foreclose? Why did my marriage fail? Why are my kids so rebellious? Have you forsaken me Lord? Let me tell you He HAS NOT forsaken you! I decided to keep reading that day and I came to chapter 3. It was like a river in a desert for my soul. It was like a garden in the middle of a deserted pasture land. It brought refreshing to me..."Through His mercies we are not consumed; because His compassions fail not; they are new every morning; great is Your faithfulness; the Lord is my portion; therefore, I HOPE in Him!" Hope in Him today no matter your situation and watch Him show off and work on your behalf cause it ALL works for your good! Bless you!
Missions Update
I wanted to give you an update. The Africa trip will be put on hold for now in terms of fundraising until I hear back from the organizers. However, I want you to focus your attention on two upcoming trips where I need to raise support to attend. One is October 31-November 7 in New York. A group of evangelists will join together for 24/7 prayer and evangelism on the streets of New York City. I plan to make the trip November 1-5 and join them in this effort. Below is a short video on this venture.
The other trip we are still looking for funding for is the trip to Cuba in December. I covet your prayers for these trips and also solicit financial support. We need about $1,000 for each trip. If you desire to donate to these two evangelistic missions trips, please do so by clicking the donate button below, or by going to www.deestokes.org, or by calling 407-494-2705. Any and all donations are appreciated. Thanks and the Lord bless and keep you REAL GOOD!!!
