"I've got Trampoline in my Elbow…"
written the early part of this past week while in David City.
Here in Panama and loving every second of it. I come to you this day while in David City, after spending a few days in Boquete and a night on a windy mountaintop in the Comarca with an indigenous tribe for an all-night prayer vigil.
Anyways, the other morning we were waiting at our contact's uncle's house that he is using where there is a trampoline. I saw Bringham do some trick jumps, while Mangela took some photos. I went for it…
I got on the trampoline with the desire to do a front-flip or something, but couldn't get myself to do those ones…I settled for crazy high jumps just posing for photos, then tried a 360 and landed on my elbow where it proceeded to go through the trampoline. I looked at my elbow and there were trampoline barbs in it…pretty gnarly if you ask me.
Ok…so as to ministry here in David City, we are doing evangelism by passing tracts around town and talking to people through the guidance of the Holy Spirit. Today, we put on the drama to the song 'Everything' by Lifehouse…it's totally awesome and a lot of people were receptive to it.
My brother, Zeb, even got to talk to a young man named Boris today that was divinely purposed and through Zeb's talk…the angels are rejoicing in Heaven to welcome Boris to the Kingdom. I'm super stoked about it and love that Zeb had the courage and strength to talk to him. Please pray for Boris' growth, strength and new found faith in Christ. Thank you!
As for me, my time with my team this month has been amazing and I know divinely purposed. While in Boquete the other night, I shared my testimony and walk with the Lord to my team and our Squad Leader, Lauren. They all also asked me questions and got to the root of things about me that have held me back for so long. As we closed they prayed over me and I could see the shackle to the ball and chain that my squad-mate, Nikki had described as a vision about me be unlocked and myself be set free. It's still strange to feel, or well, not feel that weight that held me down for so long and I'm trying to now walk in that freedom…give me some time. I'm excited about it though.
A river and waterfall we passed last Sunday morning while picking up people for church in Boquete.
Alright, well, God is continually feeding into us and strengthening us and I feel we've gotten closer as a team than ever before. The hospitality of our brothers and sisters in Christ around the world has been amazing and overwhelmingly beautiful in them accepting us into their homes and loving on us through their service.
Ok. So…yeah…I guess that's all for now my loves. I hope you are all doing well and are strengthened by my words. Please feel free to e-mail me at [email protected] for any prayer requests you may have…I and/or my team will be more than welcome to pray for you. Much love in Christ.
Brother A.J.
