ABOUT FACE! The words spoken by the commander, and immediately the soldiers, in obedience turned the opposite direction from which they were going. No questions asked. They had learned enough to know that whatever their commander or general told them to do, they were in good hands, and he had their best interest in mind.
What if God were to do that to you? Ask you to leave your country, father, mother, familiar lands, to go to a land that you have never seen, or heard of. Moreover, you don't even know the end result! God spoke to Abraham and said just that! He left his country obedient to the Word, not even knowing where He was headed.
Over the last year the Lord began dealing with us, for just such a change. After many months of prayer, and seeking God, we have obeyed the Lord and have now made an "About Face". Completely the opposite direction of where we originally were headed, a short time from now we will be heading to the Middle East. A few months ago the change became official and we are now appointed to Turkey, Syria and Iraq.
We are excited about the change and what God is going to do in these countries! In fact, much has been going on and many doors have opened as we have traveled in the states for what lies ahead!
We ask that you would help us cover these countries in prayer, interceding on behalf of the nearly 150 million souls. In the midst of persecution, and political turmoil, God is going to have a people who know His name!
Pray for T.S.I. for a mighty outpouring of His Spirit!
On April 25, 2009, I walked down the aisle to meet the man that changed my world in just one day! The song "What a Difference A Day Makes" is really our personal story! The Lord brought us together the last day of Because of the Times, in January 2009. After being in the same place 3 different times and neither of us knowing we would be there, we ended up going for coffee and the rest is history! Now one year later, I'm quite sure that I am the happiest girl on earth, and have an incredibly wonderful godly husband. I am forever grateful to the Lord for orchestrating our lives in such a way that we would meet at just the right time. Truly it was as I had always said, "the world is not too big or too small that the Lord could not bring us together! Now as we follow the leading of the Lord we have high expectations of the future and all the Lord is going to do! -Darla Sherry
