Colombia I love you! I’m also blown away at what the Lord has done in this short amount of time, and I can’t wait to see what He continues to do. But let’s talk about the nitty gritty. I’m sitting here in a laundry cafe in Medellin and we’re nearing the end of our first month here in Colombia, and I’ve been loving the ministries we’ve been doing. We’ve salvations almost every day, whether that’s uber drivers, kids on the street, homeless people, or just people that have invited us into their house. We’ve seen the Lord heal people’s pains, hurts both physically and emotionally, restore relationships and bring people healing from their past. But, I’ve been kinda jealous that I haven’t had some big revelation or seen the Lord do something absolutely crazy.
Up until this point all the ministry that we’ve been doing and things the Lord has done is all stuff that I’m used to seeing in the States. I’m used to seeing healing, getting prophetic words for people and watching as the Lord gives them the revelation. I’ve gone evangelizing and doing prayer walks, giving food to the homeless, praying for addicts. So I’ve felt like I’ve been just doing the mundane and walking through the motions. What I’m realizing is that I came into the Race with expectations that I really hadn’t thought out, even though I was trying to come into it completely open and with no expectations. But that’s easier said than done.
I think the Lord is teaching me how to teach others in how to walk in this type of ministry. For most of the squad all of this is brand new for them, so its super exciting and everyday brings new revelations of ministry to them. But Don’t get me wrong, the healings are amazing, I’m rejoicing with heaven over the salvations and we’re seeing addicts be set free! I’m just in a season of asking the Lord what He’s doing and what He’s trying to teach me. I will say this month has pushed me deeper into the Word and into prayer so that’s increasing my relationship with Him and tuning my Eyes and Ears to what He wants me to see and hear.
To end this blog, I’d love your prayers. Prayers for strength and energy, because ministry is hard and it makes you really tired. Prayers that I would love my squad mates well, and allow them to pour into me and I to pour into them. And that I would be present in the now instead of looking ahead at what’s to come!
