Hey Guys!
Just wanted to ask for prayers... things are really starting to be stirred up here....
Aboriginal people are very intune with the spiritual world around us, most of them are very animistic... and seeing spirits of some sort is not an uncommon thing...
with that being said...one of the girls that went to Pitch and Praise with us was recently telling us how her walk with God is amazing, i thought that was awesome, but she continued to share with us how shes able to communicate with her grandparents more,.. (her grandparents have passed away)... she's really confused and is starting to mix Native Spirituality and Christianity...
The same night, after our girls small group, we (jen my roommate, and Sydney, one of our girls) were driving home from the Native reserve heading back to our farm when i saw some people walking across the road i slowed down the car, when i realized that there was nothing ACTUALLY there there i picked up speed... trying to shrug it off and convince myself it was the fog i kept driving...
Jen spoke up and had asked if we had saw "that" and sure enough we all the same thing...
at first i was really startled since i've never seen anything like that, but than realized that was definatly spirits of fear and intimidation, and when it was just the two of us, we were talking about how Jen felt earlier in her quiet time that God really wants us to become fully secure in his authority...
This week is the traditional powwow weekend, which isnt the typical powwow you might have seen in the past, but its very into "connecting with the spirits"... please keep us in prayers here.... and that things will start to turn around and God's blood will be poured out over this community... pray that this will be the season of break through in wiky and other native communities...
God Bless
Melissa
