Yeah, that should be a word! Today we had the opportunity to hear from a LBC joint venture missionary who is stationed in Poland, his name is Calvin Carr. He was back on furlough and visiting his supporters and family and updating people on what's been happening the last year in Gdansk, Poland. It was just so cool to hear his stories of coping, surviving, and success! His thoughts about the language barrier and how much God is growing and stretching him; I just tried to drink in all his insight. He was excited about the things that were happening among the Polish people in the city they are in and he shared how they've created fellowship and unique ways to bring people together. I loved seeing his passion for people and his honest feelings about what really takes place that first year...
Seeing the vision of missions through a missionaries eyes who has experienced it was uplifting today! I feel energized and excited about how many people are out there right now spreading the Gospel! How that desire in me to be on the field pushes us toward our goals of fundraising to get there! It was a great morning!
Looking forward to going down to Avant and seeing a dear friend be commissioned this next weekend! Seeing a new crop of missionaries entering into deputation and realizing that every day is one step closer to the field!
