I am
sitting here in the airport waiting to go home, pondering training camp and how
hard it was just to give hugs and say, “See you in two months” to everyone. These
people I met are wonderful and I really see Gods boldness and eagerness to love,
in each person. I am sitting in the
airport watching the sunset, spread across the sky, as it turns into magical
colors and watching God bring a smile across my face. As I was coming to the airport, it really hit
me, my team and I will be in NEW ZEALAND in two
months, oh my gosh, what a crazy thought. We are going to be bringing the
gospel to the nations. We have
experienced this new thought, that God talks to us every day, we must be asking
God what he wants and if we ask, we got to be ready to listen and act. I
have watched myself and team, learn this lesson and become more confident in
acting and trusting God has our back. We want to impact the world but how can
we do it without, listening to what God wants for these countries. We are
missionaries NOW, not when we leave but now; at our homes, towns, cities, our
local market place or coffee shop. I always say we must realize the need in our
own city before we go to be missionaries in other countries. What is the need
in the places we live? What hurt or pain occurs? What does God want for the
people around us?

We have been given the opportunity to think about someone
other than myself. Instead of being ensnared all day long with concerns
about us; our looks, our thoughts, our agenda, We have the opportunity
to bring life to dead places and speak truth about what God thinks about us and
others. And then we have been offered the opportunity to bring this truth
with us everywhere we go in the next months, year and for the rest of our
life-time!”
