James and Sonya Herron, IMB Missionaries
Uganda East Africa
Island Ministry team (Upper Buvuma Islands)
The vision of the International
Mission Board is to see a multitude from every language, people, tribe and
nation knowing and worshiping our Lord Jesus Christ
18 So we do
not focus on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is
temporary, but what is unseen is eternal. (2 Corinthians 4:18
HCSB)
Jesus is with you and for
you. You face nothing alone—nothing. When feeling anxious, overwhelm by worry,
know that you are focusing on the visible world and leaving Christ out of the
picture. The cure for this is to fix
your eyes on Jesus. Jesus will get you
through this day and all of your days. But
we find him only in the present
28 We know that all things
work together[ for the good[ of those who love God: those
who are called according to His purpose. 29 For those He foreknew He also predestined to be
conformed to the image of His Son, so that He would be the firstborn among many
brothers. 30 And
those He predestined, He also called; and those He called, He also justified;
and those He justified, He also glorified. What then are we to say about these things? If God is for us, who is against us? (Romans 8:28-31 HCSB)
