In late September or early October as I was praying for Africa I saw a blue suitcase. As I was seeing this I sensed the Lord was asking me to take a second suitcase to give to Pastor Emmanuel. I had no idea what it was to be used for but I quickly got online to see if I could even take a second one on my Northwest flight. It was allowable so I sent an email to Dawn requesting that I take a second suitcase. I had been given 100 ties, 36 cosmetic bags with gifts for the women and some ladies scarves to take as gifts for the people in Kenya. Yes, the suitcase would come in handy for that but that was not the primary reason. At first I was told no but then after some prayer I was told that would be okay if I was willing to leave it in Kenya as the rooms and vehicles were very small. That was what I felt the Lord was directing me to do anyhow, so I was fine with that.
My husband encouraged me to go to the store and find a suitcase to take. I prayed and asked the Lord for favor. I went to WalMart and found a 24-inch, three piece set of luggage. The carry-on and toiletries bag folded flat so that was not a problem. You will never guess the color of the luggage - BLUE! It was on clearance as well. God is so good! I just had this sense that Pastor Emmanuel would need this luggage for some future travel.
One of the days Pastor Ian (http://www.citylightsministries.org/Home.html) gave a teaching and then there was an opportunity for people to respond. During the response time the Lord had a message for Pastor Emmanuel. Part of the word had to do with travel to the nations - plural. Yes, he will need the blue suitcase. God is a God of Provision. Whatever He asks us to do, He provides the necessary equipment!
