Our Pain is NOT Being Wasted

The number of people who have come to know God or have grown closer to Him because of our situation with Moriah has made this all worth it.
Even though this is a video of Justin explaining the meaning of baptism as he is baptizing our friends who recently accepted Christ into their lives, Gwen and Steve, it is such an encouragement to us to know that "our pain is not being wasted" (Chris Manus tells us this) and that God is using this situation for His glory. Even though we dont always understand it all the time, we trust in His sovereignty, and know He is working.

You and Justin are amazing. You are both so strong in your faith despite what all you have been through. I am sure you have witnessed to people near and far--people you have no idea are being influenced by you. I pray He continues to bless and keep you in the palm of His hand.

Prayerfully,

Tears are filling my eyes! This is why we have a heart connection...our love and awe of the Lord. Not the fact that our daughters have heart disease.

I love you friends!

You and Justin are amazing and your strength is something I really admire right along with your faith in God. I can't begin to explain or even try to tell you what an encouragment you have been to me, thanks so much. I just pray that you will be blessed as you continue to do His work. Thanks for all you do! Hoping you are all doing well. Praying for you all.
Hugs,
Tanya

Just today, a friend I haven't known for too long asked me about how your Moriah is doing. Your love, devotion and faith touches so many people in so many beautiful ways. The pain is real and deep - but you and Justin show us how your deep pain is tempered with deep joy and love - and that no, your pain is NOT being wasted.

Much love, always*h

You guys are awesome... but not as awesome as God! He really is doing something special in and through you guys. Thank you for opening your heart to him so that He could let His love overflow from you and out to others. You guys are special. Our prayers are for you and with you. Love you guys! B and H
