And from them

I will send survivors

       to the nations...

And they shall declare

       My glory

among the nations.

                Isaiah 66. 19

(What in the world

      am I doing here?

Bring His glory

    wherever we are.

God has strategically

           positioned

each one of us

to be His witness

even in the most

      unexpected situations

and among the most

      unlikely people.

We have only

            to be faithful.

God is bringing the fruit.)

O LORD,

You have brought us to

    this place and this time

and to these people

whom You have planted

       all around us.

Help us to be aware

          of Your leading.

Help us to be aware

   of being a witness

             right here,

             right now.

We may never see the fruit

    nor the purpose of being here,

but You are bringing

      Your glory to completion.

Help us to be aware

that others are watching us

             desperately

to know if You are real.

Let them see

               Your glory.
