I guess the age old saying is true – time truly does fly when you’re having fun. What a journey it has been for the eight of us. Beginning from the moment that each of us answered the call to go more than six months ago up until now, where we are actually packing to leave.
Answering the call wasn’t easy, packing isn’t easy, and leaving isn’t always easy either. I guess most of you are wondering where the fun comes in. It is just absolutely amazing how God chooses to reveal glimpses of His glory as we go for Him and as we are growing in Him. This team has been blessed beyond measure by each of you as well as by one another. Nothing this world has to offer can compare to the joy that our Lord has reserved for those who love Him!
Packing night always seems to be one of the most memorable moments for any mission team, and our team was certainly no exception. There was just something about coming together Wednesday night that brought out more compassion in the team, more encouragement and willingness to uplift each other, and so much more excitement about all of the activities planned and time that will be spent with these extremely needy but precious children.
As the time draws closer for our departure please begin to uplift the needs of each and every child. Pray that the Lord would soften our hearts so that we are sensitive to His guidance as we interact with them. What assurance we have in knowing that the Lord’s thoughts and ways are so much higher than ours, and that His perfect will always accomplishes the purpose for which He intended. In knowing this, pray that we will continually yield to His purpose at all times and that with humble hearts we will do any and all that He requires of us, no matter how major or minor the task.
