Hello from Prishtina!
Since I last wrote to you, I left the city of Sarajevo for Split, Croatia for the last two weeks of ATL ministry.
When we started to pray about our month of ATL, I kept reading about how God would split open the rocks and His water would rush through. We weren’t sure what that meant and started to look at the map for an indication of where to go.
“He split the Sea and they walked right through it;
he piled the waters to the right and the left.
He led them by day with a cloud,
led them all the night long with a fiery torch.
He split rocks in the wilderness,
gave them all they could drink from underground springs;
He made creeks flow out from sheer rock,
and water pour out like a river.” (Psalm 78…)
In all honesty, Croatia was one of the harder months on the race. We partnered with a church that welcomed us in and had us spend time with some of it’s members. We went to the pastor’s daughters cello concert, took long walk with some of the older women, and led their Wednesday night bible study.
In the time in-between, we decided to get creative. Every day, God seemed to say: “go out into the streets and declare my name”.
That’s pretty scary.
But everyday I would open my bible, and another verse would seems to say the same thing. … well that and to pray for healing.
So we did it.
It was weird.
It was uncomfortable.
And my teammate Amber got to pray for a woman’s leg. After a few different times, God healed her!
Everything about this is a bit weird for me.
Everything about it makes me a little bit uncomfortable.
Do I really believe that God heals people?
I’m being stretched in weird, uncomfortable ways.
But I’m constantly learning that the Lord’s ways are bigger than I can imagine.
I’m more than halfway through my World Race journey. And I’m to the point where I just want to risk it. I just want to do the crazy, step-out-in-faith things.
I met a group of ten Muslim girls this week in Prishtina. I told them a bit of my story/ the gospel and they want to meet. Please pray for these friendships and what’s to come!
Thank you for continuing to follow along on my journey. Your prayers and support have become a huge part of my story. God has used your generous “yes!” to proclaim his goodness, time and time again.
