This could quite possibly be my last post before Kenya. God willing I would love to share more with yall! However if this is, we will be catching up after my trip becauseee im journaling everyday and then will transfer it onto this blog. It will be great!
My pastor was talking today about how Jesus chose 12 disciples to go and make disciples. He emphasized on the number 12 becauseee think about this 12 men (some that doubted) got the gospel all the way to you, and me, and many others from biblical times until now. The good news has been traveling since these 12 guys ventured out for there purpose. This brings me hope for Kenya. God is sending 24 team members and myself to one country to make disciples! How far will the gospel go?!? And for how long?!? IM EXCITED TO SEE!
It has been hitting me hard recently that I am leaving for a third world country. Typically, when leaving for a vacation I never really express emotion until I am boarding the flight or have just arrived because I can’t force my feelings...However, this trip is different. I have had a recent nervousness.sometimes when I think about my trip my stomach does a flip. This might be due to the fact that I don’t want my heart to hurt for these people when I see their conditions, or that returning home is going to be difficult, or am I equipped…there is so much to wonder about that I am excited and yet scared. A friend of mine said it right, whatever the Lord calls us to it leads us to be so uncomfortable. That’s spot on. Africa is a helping to get me out of my comfort zone and this nervousness is right.
This post is also asking a request. And earnest request for prayer and hope for this adventure.
- Pray for our team to not fear man. So often the fear of rejection, and lack of our own knowledge will prevent us from sharing the gospel to people.
- Pray for the people that we will be speaking to! That God has leads us to people with ears to hear!
- I was reading Nehemiah, the passage stated this man started weeping for Jerusalem, but he had never even been. He is a person to look up too, I pray that you can be like him to have a heart broken for Kenya even though you’ve never been, because they need prayers lifted!
Most importantly I know that He is going to do great things!!
Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!
In Christ alone!
