My name is Anne;  I live in Canada.  I am truly greatful to live here but I am even more greatful to all you I have met.  Especially those of you who are so brave to spread the word in more difficult areas.  I can only try to imagine.  Well my children and I live in a rough neighbourhood. The Lord lead us here.  We minister to anyone who will listen and we pray for the others.  Praise God!  I have been praying that God would lead me into what to share and this is what I feel to talk about:   We are a blessed people.  The Lord had showed me when I first got saved in 1992, that I would go through extreme poverty and that I would be quite ill.  He told me not to be afraid.  The Bible says: 

2Corinthians 6:
 4 But in all things approving ourselves as the ministers of God, in much patience, in afflictions, in necessities, in distresses,
 5 In stripes, in imprisonments, in tumults, in labours, in watchings, in fastings;
 6 By pureness, by knowledge, by longsuffering, by kindness, by the Holy Ghost, by love unfeigned,
 7 By the word of truth, by the power of God, by the armour of righteousness on the right hand and on the left,
 8 By honour and dishonour, by evil report and good report: as deceivers, and yet true;
 9 As unknown, and yet well known; as dying, and, behold, we live; as chastened, and not killed;
 10 As sorrowful, yet alway rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing all things.

This is what I have learned.  to be greatful in all things.  To be happy in all things.  My dear brothers and sisters I have been poor and I have been sick and I have been rich and I am no more blessed in either.  I am blessed at all times.  We are a blessed people.  I have 12 dissabilities.  I get confused a lot.  But the Word of God is like drinking water to me.  Praise God.  Hallelujah!  He is so faithful!  I am happy and alive in Him. 

Philippians4: 11 Not that I speak in respect of want: for I have learned, in whatsoever state I am, therewith to be content.
 12 I know both how to be abased, and I know how to abound: every where and in all things I am instructed both to be full and to be hungry, both to abound and to suffer need.
 13 I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.

Prayer:

Lord! We pray for Sister Anna Martin, for her short and sweet testimony. We learn that she is able to be content in life because the power of Jesus Christ is found to be supreme in her life. We pray that the Lord may bless her in all her pursuits.

We live in a world with realities of its demands. So, Lord we pray that the Lord may meet all her worldly needs too. She has testified that she is in extreme poverty and she had multiple disabilities. Father in heaven remember this child of yours and remember to fulfill all her desires as thy word goes saying, "Delight thyself in the Lord and he shall fulfill the desires of thine heart."  Psa 37:4.

Thank you Lord for answering our prayers.

Amen
