I’ve witnessed men buying women set free through the love of Christ, women being bought come to know the love of the Lord, Vietnamese students break down in tears when presented with the gospel. I’ve formed numerous friendships with Buddhist monks who now desire to know more about this Jesus, friendships with homeless men and women who were once hostile towards the Church come to know and accept the most beautiful man in history-Jesus Christ.
I’ve beheld the glory of God in sunsets over rice fields, lightning storms in the Himalayas, strolls across the frozen Baltic Seas, kisses from Elephants, and the beauty of African wildlife. My God! Everything sings to his glory.
I’ve learned that while I am son of the most high I am also the chief of sinners. What an interesting paradox. I care not what any human court says about me, I don’t even care what I think about myself for he says I am good. At the same time that gospel of grace I have been proclaiming around the world, well guess what, I am in desperate need of it every single day. I need him in every single breath!
I feel him in every single breath.
I’ve learned how to find Christ in the darkest of situations, that though I may not hear him I know he hears me. How suffering reveals, communicates, and imparts God’s glory as nothing else does. How can I be afraid of rejection when my savior saved me through rejection?
I’ve learned to let scripture interrupt me far more than I interrupt scripture.
How accepting the gift of Jesus Christ requires humility because you’re admitting that you can’t save yourself by your own means.
For so long I made Jesus fit around my life, my likes and dislikes, my joys and pleasures. However, God didn’t tell Moses, “Tell them, ‘I am what you want.’” He says, “Tell them, “I am who I am.’”
God has used Isaiah 58 to destroy me forever. I can no longer say, “I don’t ‘feel’ called to talk to that man. I don’t ‘feel’ called to love that woman starving.” God loves and defends those with the least economic and social power, and so should we.
I am not ashamed for there is not condemnation (Rom. 1:16; 8:1).
I’m public.
“Public faith means going public with what’s in your heart, with humility and respect for others, as we speak of the truth of the gospel” (Tim Keller).
If this journey the Lord has sent me on over these past two years has impacted you in any way what so ever please help. This is by no means free of cost and I am still in need of some financial support. Seriously, if my testimony, my story, my blogs, etc. have done anything for you I simply ask you give out of your heart.
Every bit helps. I’ve always said that if every person in my Church back in Germantown, TN gave me 2 dollars I would be fully covered. I truly believe the Lord will provide, and I eagerly desire to see who the Lord compels to support me. I get excited about seeing who’s on this journey with me!
Thank you for all of your prayers, words of encouragement, and financial support. Community is everything to me, so thank you for being a community bound together in love back in America while I travel the world. Your support doesn’t go unnoticed by our loving Father. God bless all of you!
