In the afternoon, we had guest “E” join us for lunch. What stuck out on my mind today was the priceless smile on his face when he scored a touchdown while playing football. His face just lit up with such a warm glow that it briefly reminded me of the smiles and good times that is promised ahead of us. We spent the rest of the afternoon buying groceries and preparing for the community BBQ that we will be holding on Tuesday. At dinner time we had a number of guests over for a night of fellowship and planning. It was wonderful to have gotten the chance to connect with a number of new and old friends. I have come to realize that there is still so much we can do for God with our time and lives and I encourage you as well to step out of your comfort zones.
For me, joining the T3C Longlac Missions Team 2008 has become a step in the right direction that God has tugged on my heart for the past few years to serve Him again. I am still uncertain how God will use me during the time up here, but I know that we are all excited for the things that God will be doing in Longlac in the next few weeks. We look forward to this week where we will be working with the kids summer program, working with the youth through a volleyball camp, and praying for people and having spirit lead conversations. Bill Hybels in his book “Just Walk Across the Room” talked about how walking across the room and simply talking to somebody can potentially change their lives forever. He emphasizes the leading of the Holy Spirit and stepping out the “Circle of Comfort” to encounter fruitful conversations. God is challenging us to be bold and to reach out to those we continue to meet.
Thank you for your continued prayers and support! =)
