Many of you remember our dear friend, Joy Hill, who was with us in Bosnia as my secretary/PA (personal assistant) for almost 7 years. After we left Bosnia, she continued on there and then in Budapest for three more years, then returned to her home in Melbourne, Australia. But now she is coming back to Budapest and will once again be my PA. This is a fantastic answer to prayer since I have so much administrative work that needs to be done. She is not only a great worker, but also a close friend and “auntie” to our kids. Watch Joy’s video here: https://www.dropbox.com/s/tjib086w322nc75/BudapestBound2015.mp4 to learn more about the ministry here, what Joy will do, and how you can pray for her. Please pray that the Lord will provide her support and that she could arrive in Budapest as early as March 2015.
The words to the song are powerful:
JOSH WILSON LYRICS
And act like everyone’s alright
well no they’re not
This world needs God, but it’s easier to stand and watch
I could say a prayer and just move on
like nothin’s wrong
But I refuse
cause I don’t wanna live like I don’t care
I don’t wanna say another empty prayer
Oh I refuse, to sit around and wait for someone else
To do what God has called me to do myself
Oh I could choose not to move
but I refuse
I can hear the least of these
cryin’ out so desperately
and I know we are the hands and feet of You oh God
So if You say move
it’s time for me to follow through
and do what I was made to do
and show them who You are
Cause I don’t wanna live like I don’t care
I don’t wanna say another empty prayer
Oh I refuse to sit around
and wait for someone else
to do what God has called me to do myself
Oh I could choose
not to move
but I refuse
to stand and watch the weary and lost
cry out for help
I refuse
to turn my back
and try and act like all is well
I refuse
to stay and change
to wait another day
to die to myself
I refuse
to make one more excuse
cause I don’t wanna live like I don’t care
I don’t wanna say another empty prayer
Oh I refuse
to sit around and wait for someone else
to do what God has called me to do myself
oh I could choose
not to move
but I refuse
I refuse
I refuse
yeah
