Lykins Update
Dear fellow teeth brushers,
We have finished our first week of English teaching. Carol is the teacher, I’m her assistant. I grade homework, arrange chairs, and when the CD player doesn’t work, read a script to the class with her. Personally, I think the live reading is better than listening to a tape.
Classes are M-W- F from 9-10:45 and 11:15 – 1:00. We have the advanced class level A, and advanced level B.
There is also a weekly staff meeting for the company, and a staff meeting for the school.
Yesterday, I was asked to speak to 60 children from the 4 orphanages that the company operates. The National Director was my translator, (Carol said I couldn’t have gotten a better translator!) I spoke about how there are many promises available for us to experience, to walk in. The Fruit of the Spirit, Rivers of Living Water, Fullness of the Spirit, The Gift of Righteousness, and my most recent target- An Undivided Heart.
How do we obtain these gifts? (I know that they are already mine in Christ, but where is the experience?) Faith, trust, ask and receive. In a nutshell, BELIEVE. Believe that He is good and a giver of good gifts. Believe that He desires to give these gifts to us. Believe that in Christ we are worthy of these gifts. I am convinced that each of us experience all that we truly desire from Him. If we are not experiencing His provision, could it be a lack of desire that is the problem?
He has no lack. “Those who hunger AND thirst after righteousness SHALL BE FILLED!”
Lord, forgive me for filling my belly with other stuff, junk food as it were. May I only desire the diet of YOU.
After the teaching, the National Director took Carol and I aside and we discussed giving guitar lessons to the 20 or so children who desire them. So, on Tuesday and Thursday I will be going to the orphanage and giving guitar lessons. That will be interesting. He then took us to his office, set us up online, and served us lunch. What a humble servant!
As you brush your teeth, remember our students who are ignorant of the hope of abundant,eternal, supernatural life that is available TODAY to all who call on His name.
Thanks again for your love and support! We are here because of your faithfulness.
Fred and Carol
