Monday Favorites

The kids and I really look forward to Mondays because we always read these 2 books. Akebu to Zapotec is an A to Z book of bibleless peoples around the world. Each week we read the short description of the people group and spend the week praying specifically for them- that they will hear the gospel and that the Lord would bring missionaries to them that could translate the Bible into their languange. It's a great opportunity for us to get away from thinking about ourselves and an opportunity to be grateful for all we have, most importantly a Savior and His Word. It's a great geopraphy lesson as well! So far we've been praying for the peoples Akebu, Brokpa, Chut, Dongxiang, Elkei, Fania, Gusilay, Hrusso, Ica, Jumjum, and Kulango. We also read a chapter a week from Missionary Stories with the Millers. These are amazing stories about how God empowers, protects, and uses men, women, and children to spread the gospel around the world. Our "struggles" are often put into perspective through these stories. Hopefully we are growing a little in loving what God loves!
