God is working! As I type that I realize that, that statement is an understatement. Today is my first day at my ministry home in Macedonia after numerous bus, train, and plane rides. I am so excited and pumped up to see exactly what God has planned. But before I tell you what kind of expectations I have heard from God this month, let me tell you exactly what God has done so far.
It was my first plane ride. The first minute on the first plane ride from Atlanta to Chicago, I heard the voice of God say “it starts right now”. I sat down in my seat and I overheard the conversation of the couple behind me as they noticed 38 “college aged students” get on the plane to start this big long mission trip. Suddenly I turned around and said “Hey, I’m one of those missionaries too!”. That lead to a very fulfilling and encouraging conversation as what happened next was very unexpected.
70 year old man made his way down the isle and pointed at the seat next to me so I graciously moved to let him in. I never caught his name but he was a very interesting guy who had been all over the world. Iran native but 50 countries to be exact!! We talked everything from the movies we like to watch to the political views we have. Then religion came up. He did not believe in Jesus, in fact he was very open to tell me that he was an atheist and was very set in his ways. Long story short we had a conversation where I let him tell me what he believes and then I returned the favor and told him what I believe.
I never saw the fruit of what I had done but that is not my job. My job as an ambassador of Jesus Christ is to GO wherever God tells me to GO and tell whoever is in front of me about Him. Part of me wondered half way though the flight why I couldn’t had of sat next to one of the Christians, but that’s when I heard the voice of God saying “HIM, RIGHT THERE, TELL HIM ABOUT ME!”
God has shown me that wherever I am, and whoever is in front of me, is a soul that needs to know Jesus. How selfish would it be if I were to keep the grace of God to myself? God is working not only in my heart but in the hearts of everyone around me!
Thank you & thank you for your prayers and support as a reader of this blog. I am super humbled and blessed to be the hands and feet of Jesus.
