Do you ever receive special assignments from God? Focused on pioneering in Manila, I (Teisa) was surprised when the Holy Spirit confirmed that I needed to serve my spiritual son and daughter, Siyabonga and Dominka Mofele, for their Iris Europe Family camp and outreach. Serve and love on the family? (My grandsons are the cutest boys on the planet. Seriously. ) Teaching missions workshops? Do mentoring sessions? Even have one day of outreach in Krakow, Poland? Let’s go!
On the first night of meetings, I scanned the crowd. Since this is a special assignment, I asked God for a particular request…that He would send me a Filipina just as an encouragement. Even though the camp was full, Andrea arrived on the third night and camped in a tent because the bunk rooms were all full. I was delighted when she sat right next to me on Wednesday night, and when I asked her, “Are you from the Philippines?” She giggled, “YES!” Andrea is currently attending Bible school in Norway and after a Google search for ‘Heidi Baker and Europe,’ she came to the camp by faith!
It was amazing to see how God wrecked her heart during the week. Andrea (and so many others) testified about how life-changing the times were in His presence, workshops, fellowship, etc. By the end, she called me “Mama Teisa” as many do, and we humbly embraced another addition to the mentorship family. Speaking of mentorship, having precious time with my mama/mentor- Heidi Baker- was such a blessing. What joy it is to run this race with Kingdom family! Mothers and fathers. Sons and daughters. Grandkids! His heart is constantly multiplying and growing at the speed of family. What is HIS special assignment for YOU today?
8 Whoever sows to please their flesh, from the flesh will reap destruction; whoever sows to please the Spirit, from the Spirit will reap eternal life. 9 Let us not become weary in doing good, for at the proper time we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. 10 Therefore, as we have opportunity, let us do good to all people, especially to those who belong to the family of believers. Gal. 6:8-10
