Gulshan
Ravi, Pakistan – June 8, 2013
I had the morning and afternoon to rest and
prepare for the evening. It is a challenge to get a sense of the Lord's leading
for each session. The Lord seemed to place the subject of the Old Testament
Tabernacle as a symbol of our spiritual walk on my mind. I committed this
to Him and prepared to speak on this theme for three sessions.
Emmanuel hired a rickshaw driver to take him
to the hotel to pick me up and take us both to the church for the seminar. On the
way, the driver told him that he needed money for gas so Emmanuel paid him. The
driver filled his tank with gas and continued to the hotel. Emmanuel left 35
copies of our Bible commentary in the rickshaw and told the driver to wait
until I came down. He then went into the hotel lobby to wait for me. While he
was in the lobby, the rickshaw driver left taking all our books with him. We
had to hire another driver and go the seminar with no books to give away.
Emmanuel told me that part of the cost for
each seminar is to pay for a generator. Because of the electricity crisis in
Pakistan they never know when power will go off and for how long it will be off.
The church in Gulshan Ravi is in a home.
Again a single room is dedicated to a church. We were able to minister to about
60 individuals at that meeting. Different people came up after with particular
needs asking for prayer. We prayed for a number of people that evening.
