"Faith is
the reality of what is
hoped for, the proof of
what is not seen. " - Hebrews 11:1
Faith
is something many people struggle to define. A youth pastor friend of mine said
that "Faith was what we do form the time we hear God speak until the next
time we hear Him speak." God has called Tascha and I to go to Africa. We
stepped out on faith by exploring various mission organizations and God
partnered us with World Gospel Mission (www.wgm.org). I have had to take off of work
twice in order to go to Indiana for our interview and training and both times I
have been able to. Tascha and I have some classes to take in preparation for
the field and God has provided in that area as well. And this past week I
explained to my boss that I was going to have to miss a week here and there
this summer for Tascha and I to speak at a few camps. I had been very weary of
discussing this matter with him because it is almost impossible to take
vacation during the summer because it is our busiest time. But I knew that God
had called Tascha and I to go to Kenya and that He would make a way. My boss
heard me out and we worked it out so that I would be able to miss the weeks
needed this summer!
God has
been so good to Tascha and I! No, we are not perfect, but God chose us to go to
Kenya to serve the sick, the brokenhearted, the hungry, and the hurting. He equips
those He calls and is faithful in His calling. I may not know how we are going
to get to Kenya, or even an exact date, but I do know who we are going with,
and through Him, we can do all things!
