Just a few weeks ago, we were all nervously just learning each other’s names, sharing our fears, strengths and weaknesses.
From the fear of heights, apprehension in making new friends, to a lack of carpentry skills- the OKC team isn’t exactly the A team. However, that’s God’s blessing in disguise. It’s through our weakness, not our strength, that God uses us mightily.
“But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.” –1 Corinthians 1:27
As we pack our things tonight, making sure we haven’t forgotten our toothbrush for the umpteenth time, God is quietly preparing each of our hearts and minds for the week ahead of us.
“But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made
perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly about
my weaknesses, so that Christ’s power may rest on me. -2 Corinthians 12:9
We are not going on this trip alone. We have the Father, Son, and Spirit with us. Nor are we the only volunteers in this mission. Our faithful readers and prayer-warriors are in the heart of this trip also!
“And pray for us, too, that God may open a door for our message, so that
we may proclaim the mystery of Christ, for which I am in chains.” –Colossians 4:3
To you who is reading this, we hope that you continue be in this journey with us- whether it be through prayer, commenting words of encouragement, or simply just stopping by for an update.
