Adventure - Brazil

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.
