JUSTINESADVENTURES.COM: They have arrived!!!

My Name is Justine Pearson, I became a Christian in October of 2008. Just 3 months later in January 2009 God called me to cross-cultural missions in Africa. I spent 10 months in 2009-2010 in Southern Africa. Currently, in 2011 I am in South Africa and Zimbabwe. God is doing amazing work here as I surrender daily to be used by him. Here are the stories of my adventures...

Testimony - God Loves Marriage

One of the things God has called me to do in South Africa is counsel and pray with women to heal birth trauma. When I met with Buhle she opened up about her husband's adultery. We prayed for forgiveness for him and the women involved. 4 weeks later she testified that her husband is now coming home at night and wants to build their family. A text message i got from here read, "Hello Justine, i want to tank God to bring you young lady to us. To me as a mother you changed my life. Tank you for yr prayer.please go ahead to do a beautiful work God bless you. Tank you."

Testimony - God Heals

I met Tryphina as the interpreter to my prenatal class in South Africa. Having had three children and being pinched, slapped, and berated while giving birth at a government hospital she had much pain and many questions. She thought her body did not work correctly and she feared having another child. We met for a prayer session where we cried out for forgiveness for all involved, her husband, and her parents. She had been trying to get pregnant but could not. 6 weeks later she was pregnant, her marriage had more love, the trauma was erased, and her dad called her to apologize for not being the father he should have and asked her how he could make it up to her. God is so faithful!

They have arrived!!!

Well this morning amongst the noise and the blur which seems to dominate me head these days I had a flood of peace. My Zimbabwe Visa papers have reached Zimbabwe! Now it is up to the office at Family Impact to submit them and then to the Zimbabwe government to approve our request.

I want to thank you all for your prayers for my Visa. I understand fully that my time in North America is not only to serve the local community and my family but it is a time to strengthen me for my service in Africa. It has not been easy but I feel this amazing Love of God this morning.

You see when you get opposition from all directions AND YET you know in your heart you are on the path God has sent...It makes no sense to yourself or others and you think of quitting but know you need to obey your King it is nice to know that God is always God, always on the throne and always in control.

Yesterday I talked with my Pastor in Joburg. I mean God knew he needed to call. A quick conversation and I understood more fully in my heart of hearts I have been called...I am serving the way God has asked me to right now and will go forth to Africa the way he asks me to and will remain surrendered to his will over my life!

I felt this scripture in the message bible translation summed it up well and I found a nice song about where I would desire to live my life.

Enjoy!

Oh and I am praying for a JOY BOMB to be dropped on our lives today!

Bless you,J

2 Corinthians 4:8-9 (The Message)

^7-12If you only look at us, you might well miss the brightness. We carry this precious Message around in the unadorned clay pots of our ordinary lives. That's to prevent anyone from confusing God's incomparable power with us. As it is, there's not much chance of that. You know for yourselves that we're not much to look at. We've been surrounded and battered by troubles, but we're not demoralized; we're not sure what to do, but we know that God knows what to do; we've been spiritually terrorized, but God hasn't left our side; we've been thrown down, but we haven't broken. What they did to Jesus, they do to us—trial and torture, mockery and murder; what Jesus did among them, he does in us—he lives! Our lives are at constant risk for Jesus' sake, which makes Jesus' life all the more evident in us. While we're going through the worst, you're getting in on the best!
