365
It was one year ago when I met this crazy group of people called N Squad.
52 weeks ago we terrified that we might miss home or not be able to handle African food.
525,600 minutes ago I was huddled in a tent with a friend praying that I hadn’t gotten myself into the biggest mistake of my life =)
And now I am here…
Living in Macedonia with an Albanian, meeting Muslims, challenging each other about Truth and God.
Last month we had bible studies with Ukrainian students and just got an email a few days ago saying that they are not the same people any more. They think for themselves, they laugh proudly, think about God personally and take charge cause no one else is willing too.
Last continent we saw 1000 people come to the Lord in a crusade.
In Asia we saw little girls avoid sex trafficking and a few older girls get out of the industry.
Other squads raised a lady from the dead.
Hmmmm. Its been quite the year.
I think a lot about this year. I think a lot about the present. I think a lot about the future.
I find that I am thinking a lot these days, and even choosing to be by myself sometimes…SHOCKER I know!!!
But the more I think, the more I realize how great this year has been.
This year has changed us all as a squad. We’re not the same.
Some people are on fire for God, some people are discovering God in magnificently amazing ways, some people are hurt and lonely.
But we’ve all changed. And it will become all the more prominent come 34 days as we get home to America. ..weird…America.
I remember training camp when we were told how much we would change this year.
Its true. Look at us. We have seen the best this world has to offer. We have seen the worse.
I even have some facial hair now. =) not really.
But friends. As we have one month left, yeah, one month, I pray you are taking advantage of the last precious moments we have.
This year has been amazing. Press in. Expect big things from God and ourselves.
