Our son Jeremy spent time in Egypt with the outreach portion of his School of Evangelism with YWAM in 2007. At that time he became friends with Nathalie Azer who lives in Cairo. So great to wake up to a note from Nathalie this morning. She said she was reading St. Paul's letter to the Philippians and thought of Jeremy and us and wanted to know how we were doing. Nathalie translated our testimony cards for 1.21 into Arabic and French. I mentioned to Nathalie that on one of my trips to Australia, that I was getting ready to share with the Newcastle YWAM base my eyes were drawn to Philippians 1.12 (the numbers being flipped) and felt that God was speaking to me to know that what happened to Jeremy (God didn't cause it but he was using it) was being used to advance the gospel. When we receive requests from places like Pakistan or Indonesia - my heart is always in awe when things like this happen..
