Into Africa

Many people ask me to pray for their relatives or friends. And I do, in all sincerity and honesty. I pray for their well-being and their safety. I pray for their protection and provision. And even though I don't really know the person I am praying for, I have a relationship with the person who asked.

The world needs our prayers, and yet I don't know enough about the world to pray for them. So I am going to meet them. I've been praying about this for a while now. I've decided to go on a short term mission trip. Yes, I'm going to Africa!!

I'm excited about this because this decision will put me completely out of my comfort zone. In a strange place...but with people for which I want to pray. I also want to represent the love of God in their loves.


I am making adjustments in my relationships, and this is just another way...
