A Lesson in Faith

"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!
