The Operation World country of the day is Malawi. Brodie had the opportunity to serve there this past spring and had a wonderful experience. He said that the people were so joyful. Even in their circumstances, he said that the children at the orphanage were smiling. I guess that's why it's called The Warm Heart of Africa.
May we here in the United States of America find the same joy that comes from God, no matter our circumstances, especially in our plenty. In ALL things may we thank our heavenly Father who has lovingly ordained our every encounter for our good and His glory.
Let's take some time to pray for the people of Malawi, that they would come to know their Savior in a real way and that they may be filled with the joy of the Lord no matter what they may endure.
"Let the nations be glad and sing for joy!" Psalm 67:4
"Rejoice always, pray without ceasing, give thanks in all circumstances; for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus for you."
1 Thessalonians 5:16-18
