It has been a great experience to be involved in the lives of a few believers here. They are so young in the faith and have so far to go. *Mark has been a huge help to me as I have worked to get housing set up for the new team.
We were talking one night about the differences between us, as Protestants, and Catholics. He asked me why do not we go to a priest and pray? He said that sometimes he thinks he needs help in his prayer. I smiled and said, “Brother, remember we have a high priest that is greater than any priest”.
We turned to Hebrews and read about Jesus the great High Priest and then we went to Romans 8 and read how the Holy Spirit helps us in our prayers and intercedes for us straight to our heavenly Father. Mark threw his head back, slapped his hands together, laughed and said “YES! That is beautiful! YES! YES! Sometimes I forget these things”. I replied “Me too. Me too” God is good!
