Here in snowy Szeged, I suddenly have a couple of minutes of quiet with the Internet so, at the half way mark of this trip, I thought I would reflect on this trip so far… what I’ve seen God do:
He has:
rescued a ton of kids and placed them in loving places in central Ukraine in the Vinnistya area in the Chance Shelters, it was awesome to visit them…
given a couple of Ukrainian folks a heart for missions, I hope I was able to encourage them to leae their comfort zone to serve in needy places (like Bosnia!)
began the healing of a relationship between two brothers
taught me more about prayer and fasting and faith
really shown Himself to me in fresh ways
given me some new friendships
helped me understand patience
healed a brother who had a tumor and blown the doctors minds
encouraged a bunch of Europeans on a mission trip to the Balkans
fought off the darts of the enemy on our behalf: these darts were in the form of: flat tires, broken car suspensions, and other things intended to delay and distract us from our mission, the enemy also sought to distract with discouragement and frustration which resulted in words not meant which were spoken in the heat of a moment… God prevailed through patience and love… How DO you disassemble an atomic bomb? Love, pure love.
God has given new, great connections with people who are making more good connections for us and our work to bring justice
He also gave me a blessing writing the first lesson in a GCL style study of Romans which was a blast to write!
as I write this the sun has just come out! God is good indeed…
