Sorry this blog is
long overdue but I’ve had somewhat limited internet capabilities here in the
Philippines. That’s right, I’m in the Philippines, this is real! It still
hasn’t fully hit me yet…
We arrived in
Manila last Monday afternoon after a 14 hour flight, of which I slept NONE, and
skipping all of Sunday, which was really strange…. Monday- Friday was devoted
to Launch Training which consisted of several teaching sessions with our
coaches Gary and Lisa Black, who challenged and inspired us to step out in our
gifting, both as a squad and as a team, and also lots of team building and
getting better acquainted with the Holy Spirit. It was a hot and sticky week,
but it was filled with the power and presence of God and many were healed and
set free. The week was ultimately a time of equipping us for the year ahead and
letting go of anything that would hinder us from being effective for our
ministry and bringing glory to the Lord.
God taught me what it meant to fully trust in Him, even though I might not have
a clue what’s going on, and to let Him love me as a father. I have struggled
with this my whole life because I have an amazing earthly father (and mother)
who love me unconditionally and have always supported whatever I’ve chosen to
do. I’ve always viewed God as my Protector and Provider and I guess I just put
limits on His role in my life and the areas I’ve given Him control. Most of
that was altered quite drastically this week and I now feel ready to invest and
pour out the love of the Father after being filled and overflowed this week on
those who so desperately need it.
