This year marks 15 years of full-time ministry for me. And one of the things I enjoy most is spending time with supporters. In 15 yrs I have met some amazing people with huge hearts to share God’s Amazing Love. The reality is that without a support team (Prayer & Financial) I would not be able to do what God has called me to do.
That is why my time in Hilton Head Island was another reminder of God’s love toward me. I spent a week with dear friends that have prayed over me and loved me while on my missionary journey. The beginning of our trip was asking the Lord to provide opportunities to serve those around us. Our week was spent sightseeing, riding bikes on the island, playing tennis as a family, flying kites, feeding sea gulls, spending time reading, kayaking on the ocean in search of dolphins and just relaxing. One day the Lord answered our prayers and we did a drama in front of a crowd of tourist. They were enjoying the sun’s heat and we asked them if we could entertain them and they said yes. So…there we were sharing Christ through mimes and skits. It was amazing and I was so blessed to do ministry as a family. But the highlights were the sunrise and sunsets the Lord gave us.
Here is what Ahna (oldest child) had to say about our week:
This week has been such a blessing. Letty has always been an important part of our family, but spending time with her at Hilton Head Island has solidified our relationship. She encouraged us all to find ways to minister to others while here. My first thought was that I might not want to spend my vacation working like I was on a mission trip, but after watching her willing heart at work my attitude completely changed. I feel that this week was not solely focused on relaxing, but on spending time enjoying God. My favorite part by far was kayaking during sunset. Everything looked gorgeous, even under water! After leaning out too far, I tipped the kayak then came to the surface to hear Letty shouting “did anyone get a picture of that?!” God has been at work here even as we enjoyed some down time.
Now…Here is a word from mama Wilseck:
Wow, what a week! Having Letty in my life has been one of my top ten blessings from God. We never get enough time to be in her presence and to have a vacation with her like this is fantastic! The thing that she always does is to draw us all closer to Christ. Her encouragement to us to service for His kingdom is always a welcome thing. Probably the best part of this week, for me, has been being able to get away and enjoy God’s creation. Water is calming to my soul and having an ocean beside me, has done wonders! During one of my quiet times God showed me, as I prayed, love. He showed me to love is to be God like - for God is love. He directed me back to 1 Corinthians 13 and showed me how all the “loves” can be changed to “God” and how through Christ we strive to be this love to a watching world. To God be all the glory for His creation and all the praise for His people and our relationship and all the honor for His great love for us, AMEN!
The Wilsecks have become my family away from home. And I am blessed every time we are together. Thank you Lord for providing great friends and support!! Phil 1:3 “I thank my God every time I remember you”
