The Taking of Zone 15
First Report
Within the last few months Troy has mapped out a new area in Galati, Zone 15(Z15). This is the first report I have written concerning the advance into its area on the north side of town.
Jud 1:23 Rescue any who need to be saved, as you would rescue someone from a fire.
Mihai and I have prayer walked this area in recent weeks on two different occasions, and Troy had been there once too. On all these trips there, we had went apparently unnoticed by the enemy. This week was different.
1Pe 5:8 Be alert, be on watch! Your enemy, the Devil, roams around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.
Monday of this week Adriana, a young lady from Teresa’s group came by the house ready to get back to work after a long Easter break. She will be working with the children in Z15 when we start the rescue. She requested that we go there and prayer walk the area. She had a friend that she was hoping to get involved in Kingdom work but after a quick call found she was unavailable. Also Teresa had a language class scheduled for that afternoon so she could not go either. Adriana and I went anyway.
Pro 16:9 A person may plan his own journey, but the LORD directs his steps.
As we drove in the area, which looks a lot like a village in Moldova, we were greeted with the enemy at work in the form of drunkenness and strife.(Gal.5:20-21) I should have been prepared for such, after all it was a Holy Day here. We chose a different parking place. The time of prayer and observation was good, only interrupted by an opportunity to Share Jesus Without Fear.
1Pe 3:15 Honor Christ and let him be the Lord of your life. Always be ready to give an answer when someone asks you about your hope.
I took Adrianna home and went by the house to pick up Teresa for a meeting we had that evening. On our return home we found we had missed a call from Peggy and she also sent a couple of emails asking me to call her. I did. She told me that her husband Kelly had lost his job today. I was not surprised, as news of the economy from the states sounds bad. Teresa had been experiencing attacks directed at her from home for some time. Her brother Victor was losing his fight with cancer when we left home for mission training. Since then she lost her nephew James and on the other side is Emma being born and not being able to hold her. The enemy knows where to shot. The armor of God in designed for offence not defense. Eph 6:10-18
Now it appears it is my turn. That is okay. That tells me Zone 15 is a place where God wants us to do battle. Pray that we are ready.
