Home

Well, I arrived home yesterday. It is good to be back wtih my family. A part of me is sad to leave South Asia, but I did miss my family and friends so it is good to be with them again. I managed to last until 8.30pm last night, at which time I passed out and didn't wake up until 7.30am this morning. You'd think after 9 hours of solid sleep I'd be rested and adjusted but it is 8.30pm right now and I am ready to go to bed again. Hopefully I can last until 10.00.

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.

Once upon a time...

Once upon a time I was doing pretty good at keeping up with these posts. Meanwhile, where has the time gone? Today we embark upon our last trip to our final city of work. In this coming city we will meet up with a family of followers who have many friends. We will try to share with some of these friends while working with the family who are already believers. PRay for the family and their friends.
