Last night at our discipleship course (New Life in Christ) I looked around the room and felt a deep sense of purposefulness in my work. Of the 13 in attendance, 7 were not involved in this stuff when we arrived last April. 7 people drawing closer to God. That's good news. I'm so grateful to be here watching it happen.Oddly enough, our dream of coming to work with young people (and by young, I mean my age) has not panned out so much. I suppose this is in part because the existing congregation is mostly 40s and 50s. All these new people plugging in are in the same category.
It cracks me up that God would bring me to Peru to minister to "grown up" latin women. Whatever happened to the idea that you can have the most impact on people most like yourself? There goes God again, breaking out of the box.
Praise God for that encouragement! Make sure to go back and read your own blog sometimes to be reminded of how the rest of us see God working through you guys! love you!
