Ouch, don’t touch my back!
Yesterday all the teams that are in San Juan took a day off and went to the beach. Yeah we all pretty much got fried. It was a very fun and refreshing day. It felt good to get out of the smog of San Juan for a while.
As I was thinking of what to write in this blog, I started thinking of what was weighing on my heart the most. Part of our ministry in San Juan has been door-to-door evangelism around our church. This isn’t completely new to me. I’ve done a fair amount of passing out tracts and evangelism activities. I think I’ve always gone into these activities without expecting God to work though. One thing that I’ve been struggling with is just trusting God to do the work. We have had a few people pray to receive Christ while we are out ministering, but instead of rejoicing, I find myself thinking, “was this a real conversion”? How are they going to grow in Christ after we are gone? We will be leaving in a week, and will probably never see them again. All we can do is invite them to church, and visit them before we leave. What I need to remember is that God is about eight thousand times bigger than I think he is, and he is the one who does the work in the heart, not me. I’m just the vessel.
