Me: \u00a0This was a good walk. \u00a0What are you going on to do late tonight?<\/p>\n

Prodigal: \u00a0We’re goin’ to throw our hats over the windmill!<\/p>\n

Me: \u00a0Don’t get into trouble while your having all that fun!<\/p>\n

Prodigal: \u00a0I will be staying out of trouble.<\/p>\n

This comes from the book God’s Generals by Roberts Liardon<\/p>\n

The Lake family had been praying diligently for a home when they reached Johannesburg. \u00a0As faith missionaries, they had no support from church boards, and no denomination waiting to accept them at their arrival. \u00a0All they had was their faith in God.<\/p>\n

When they arrived in Johannesburg in May of 1908, they noticed a little woman running around the dock area looking at everyone. \u00a0She was American. \u00a0Running up to Tom, she said, “You are an American missionary party? \u00a0to which Tom replied, “Yes.” \u00a0“How many are in your party? the lady went on. \u00a0“Four,” \u00a0Tom answered back. \u00a0But she shook her head and said, “No, you aren’t the family. \u00a0Is there another?”<\/p>\n

Then Tom directed her to Lake. \u00a0“How many are in your family?” \u00a0the lady asked. \u00a0“My wife, myself, and my seven children,” Lake said. \u00a0The lady suddenly looked ecstatic and shrilled, “You are the family!” \u00a0Then she went on to explain how God directed her to meet their boat and that on it would be an American missionary family consisting of two adults and seven children. \u00a0And that she was to give them a home.<\/p>\n

That same afternoon, the Lake’s were settled into a furnished home in Johannesburg. \u00a0God had provided it, just as they had asked. \u00a0The American lady, Mrs. C. L. Goodenough, remained a faithful friend throughout their ministry.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ezekiel 11:19<\/p>\n

And I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them an heart of flesh:<\/p>\n
