Trotter Talks Bible Study – Friends of God – Episode 3
Emily Trotter continues her Bible Study on “Friends of God”. This is Episode 3 in the series.
Notes from the Bible Study:
Joseph is our focus this week.
Genesis 37-50
Joseph was sold by his brothers.
Ch. 39
v. 21
The way Joseph lived his life brought blessings to the house where he stayed (v.5).
Ch. 41
Joseph is put in prison, but is put in charge of other prisoners. There, Joseph interprets the dreams of others. He is sent to the Pharoah. He interprets his dream as 7 years of greatness and 7 years of famine. Pharoah favored Joseph and he stayed within his kingdom. But Joseph remained true to God.
Ch. 42
The famine occurs. The Egyptians have stores of grains because of Joseph’s interpretation of Pharoah’s dream and because of Pharoah’s planning.
Joseph’s brothers come to Egypt seeking food.
Jacob dies and is buried in Israel. Even Pharoah comes to the burial.
Ch. 50
V.19-21. God will make good the bad that we have done.
70 members of Joseph’s family go to Egypt until the Exodus, when there were over 600,000.
There is a PURPOSE, though there may be hardship.

A “Thank You” Letter from Ukraine
As much as possible, Tammy and Matthew Reynolds have been keeping up with our friends in Ukraine. They have been giving updates on the situation with our Ministry Team and the children. Tammy received this “thank you” letter from one of our Orphanage Directors. It gives you a sense of how you have been directly helping during this crisis. We thank you all on their behalf and please continue to pray for those affected by this conflict and that a resolution will be reached very soon.
Dear St. Paul / Compass Ministry Team,
It is not just the strength and resolve of our brave Ukrainian soldiers that convinces me that our country is invincible, it is also because there are people like you in this world! We are blessed that you partner with us in loving and caring for our children here in Sofyivka … children that the rest of the world has forgotten!
We thank you for your continued love and support, in spite of the difficulties involved in that continued support and provision. We thank you that, in spite of the war, just as you have in the past, to this day you continue to see our needs, understand our needs, and then truly consider it not just your mission, but your calling to try to fulfill those needs!
Thank you for the generators you have provided for us. Thank you for the food, the water, the blankets and bedding, and the clothing. Thank you for the much needed hygiene supplies and thank you for the supply of diapers and baby food your team brought to help us care for the many new children our orphanage has recently taken in. But, more than anything, thank you that you do not forget us, thank you for your humanity, for your support, and, for really loving us as you love your own!! We are all part of one family and through all that you do for us and all that you mean to us, we truly feel that family love!
May God Bless you!
Glory to Ukraine! Glory to the heroes!
And now, the first of the photos:
These photos show generators we have been able to get this past week. When we can’t get our hands on the big ones, we can keep facilities going with multiple small generators. Praise God we have been blessed to find these, and blessed with the funds to purchase them.
