So for this coming month, all of the teams were given 5 contacts to basically pick from. The squad leaders just generally tell the team leader where the team is going.
As a team, we decided to seek God on this matter. Scotty, the team leader, kept the all contact information to himself, but lettered the contacts A-G. We then all prayed for a letter.
I felt like God was telling me to “just wait. I WILL use you as My hands and feet, but I will not necessarily use you everytime. You need to learn to trust more on what I am telling your teammates. You will be living with them for 9 more months, you know. Their word from Me is just as good as the word from Me to you.”
I chose to not put my letter in the cup with everyone else’s. There was 1B, 2 C’s, and 2 F’s. (Since Scotty arranged the letters, he chose not to participate.)
We then decided to narrow the choices to those 3 and Scotty would assign colors to them for us to pray about.
We used the next morning’s group worship time to pray about where God wanted us to go and what color He was leading us to choose.
Some people got visions of villages and jungles. Christina did a random drawing that actually connected with the contact that ended up being our # 1 choice. Cody wrote out things for each person on the team that he felt like God was sharing with him.
When we all shared, everyone got the color green except for one person. Then Scotty revealed all of the info he had about the contacts. It turns out that C & Green were the same, and F & red were the same.
Letting God lead is always shockingly exciting when you get to experience His plan and how He will work things out. Utimately, the squad leaders still choose where we are going, but really our team will be super stoked no matter where we end up. It is such a blessing that our team is learning to keep our hands open for where God wants to place us so we can be completely used in every way He has perfectly created.
