Dear Jo,

Thank you for making your life a gift to those around you! With your joy, humour and earnestness, the Lord will truly do great things through your loving service to those at SOW.

No one has ever seen God, but as long as we love one another God remains in us and his love comes to its perfection in us.

-1 John 4:12

May He sustain you and keep you in His love all your days. All the best!

God bless,
Jianbrose

Dear Jo,

Thank you so much for your service at OYP and to all of us. It may have been tiring along the way in your ministry, but I pray that in this season you may find rest in Him and allow Him to love you.

"I have loved you with an everlasting love; therefore I have continued my faithfulness to you." Jeremiah 31:3

He loves you very much and wants to spend lots of time with you :)

Love, Varella

Hey Jo! Just wanted to say thank you for all that you do to support TLV. As you take these few weeks to serve at SOW I pray that the Lord will take your efforts and use it to bring about renewal in the hearts of your participants and fellow service team members, and indeed in your own heart as well as you give of yourself to His service. Please know of our prayers, and all the best!

Dear Jo,
Thank your yes to serve SOW22!

I remember you telling me about your hair growth during SOW season and how you will only cut it after. As I pray for you, it reminded me of Samson and how God chose Him as his representative to his people and how his strength would be maintained while his hair long. Although this is a small and even something you may not think/notice about, may you be reminded of God’s commitment to you and yours to Him in small ways. May He ever be your strength and strong foundation.

Have a blessed time at SOW!

And Mary said, “Behold, I am the servant of the Lord; let it be to me according to your word.”

-Luke 1:38

This verse came up when praying for you!

What wonderful things the Lord will do with your YES just like with mama Mary’s yes!!! 😍 praise God for the gift of u jojoooo :) just as w mama Mary’s story, where she was unsure of how things were to come about and what would happen but persevered in faith and trust, am praying for a deep faith and trust in the Lord as you go into SOW22!

May the intercession of Mary and Joseph as parents and shepherds of Jesus as He grew up cover you as you ‘parent’ and shepherd the girls assigned to your care! And may you come to a deeper awareness of how you continue to be parented and shepherded even as you minister to others 🤩

Have a blessed time and will miss u!!! See u soon

Dear Jo,

Have a blessed time again at SOW as you serve. May God speak words of truth to your heart always and give you peace.

Hi Jo!! Thought of this song when I was praying for you. If you ever find yourself not knowing what the future holds, not understanding what God's plans are for you, I pray that you may find refuge under the wings of our mighty God. He will be your fortress & protector.

God has so much in store for you in SOW! Although you are serving in the capacity of a staff at OYP, you are first and foremost His daughter, & nothing can separate you from His love. God bless you, Jo!

Love, Nat Wong 🤍

Dear Jo,

Thank you for accepting the Lord’s invitation to be part of OYP, and SOW!! Do not be afraid, for the Lord is with you. He can’t wait to show you the wonders of this works! Rejoice and be glad! :)

For the struggles you may face, continue to hang on to the Lord.

Then you shall call, and the Lord will answer; you shall cry for help, and he will say, Here I am.

-Isaiah 58:9

Hey Jo! PTL for your yes to serving in SOW :)) As I was praying for you, "olive tree branch" came to mind. I did a quick google of its significance, and oof. Lots of interesting stuff, yo: https://www.gotquestions.org/olive-tree-Bible.html

Some cool points from the article:
- An extremely slow-growing plant, the olive tree requires years of patient labor to reach full fruitfulness.
- The promise of the dove’s olive branch was a new beginning for humanity, peace and reconciliation with God, renewal, and revival.
- The tree’s fruitfulness and ability to thrive suggests the model of a righteous person
- Olive tree oil is symbolic of the anointing of the Holy Spirit, as it was used as the carrier for a mixture of spices that made up the holy anointing oil.
- The process by which olives are beaten and crushed to produce olive oil contains spiritual significance as well.

TL;DR
I pray that God will grant you patience and strength as He continues to mould you in the crushing. May you continue to learn to trust in Him and His great plans for you. May you experience His love and mercy every morning, allowing you to persist in this journey of faith. I also pray that the Holy Spirit will continue to guide you closer to the heart of Jesus and grant you wisdom and strength in whatever you do in the service of God. :)

Praying you have a nourishing time at SOW! May it allow you to grow like an olive tree; one with deep roots and super fruitful :))

Heya Jo! As i was praying for you, the words "the joy of the Lord is my strength" came up.

As you continue to radiate this joy within you during SOW, may you also remember how the Lord desires to deepen your relationship with Him even further.

As you avail yourself in these next 8 weeks, may you fall deeper and deeper in love w our Lord!! He takes delight in you jo!!

May you always draw strength for Him for He truly delights in you!!
