Ahhh! Brazil!
I could never have imagined all the delights of this trip. It was not an easy trip. 30 hours in transit can be tough, and it
was. Sleep often escapes me in the
excitement of inflight movies and food and so much anticipation. I was grateful for a bed and good rest on
arrival.
Then the fun
began. We were able to see old
friends. We made new friends. We spoke the words God gave us. We ministered as a unit, each of us with our
part. We saw lives touched because God
was working. We were busy, but we were
busy doing Kingdom business. It was so
energizing.
I have been
asked about highlights. Oh, how can I
pick! Meeting a new translator who was a
kindred spirit, speaking to packed churches, sharing fellowship with new
friends, standing with the mighty men from the summer team. I cannot name them all. But the all-out highlight was God working
through three ordinary people to change hearts. That was worth any
inconvenience of travel, and lack of sleep.
I would go again and again if God calls me.
When I was
baptized I stated God had called me to go into all the world and preach. Some people laughed at that, but it is
starting. I believe God is calling me to
speak for those who cannot speak, where ever that is. I must go and help show how God is not
limited by human weakness. I am weak,
yes, but God is exceedingly strong, so no problem.
Wonder where
the next adventure will take us.
