Reflection

Well...for the last few days I've been chilling in out base city. We have a few days at the end to relax and reflect on the summer before we head to debriefing. This summer has been an adventure. I have travelled a lot, seen a lot, been in some dark places, prayed fervently for people who have never been prayed over. In the end, I have changed a lot. The Father, as He is so keen on doing, has worked in me without my notice. I have been sobered by the darkness and lostness that covers this place, seemingly unchecked. Yet the Father graciously reveals that South Asia has not escaped His field of vision. That He knows every one of these people, all one billion of them, and He has a plan for their lives. Just as He knows when a bird of the air falls from the sky, so He knows the hearts of those who call out and cry to false idols. This thought brings a peace to my heart in the midst of despair. So we ask the Father to draw their worship from the many false gods--all 330 million of them--and lift their praise to the Most High.

What keen insight into the Spirit's work and what a noble prayer for the masses of South Asia whom our Father dearly loves! Alan, He is doing a great work in your heart that is preparing you for the next assignment, which may be among your own peers on a university campus soon. I'm excited for you and look forward to hearing about your adventures. I am reminded of II Chronicles 16:9, "For the eyes of the Lord range throughout the earth to strengthen those whose hearrts are fully committed to Him." May He find that in you and me, my brother.
