It was a year ago right around this time that our plane was touching down in the Central African Republic. It was truly an experience of a lifetime that will never be forgotten. Here are a few of the lessons that still ring true within my heart even today.
- Never underestimate what God is able to do through those who are open and willing to respond to Him!
- The fellowship we enjoy in Christ transcends all culturally boundaries.
- Pure religion is to care for the widows and orphans of this world. I believe this pleases the heart of our father.
- Lord I believe... Help my unbelief as this experience stretched my faith.
- I love my wife and children as it was tough being apart from them. Being a world apart left me releasing them into the Lord's loving care which isn't easy for this husband/father to do.
- The joy of the Lord seems to be found in the simple things of life!
- The hope of life eternal found in Christ alone is what gets so many believers around the world through another day when surrounded with so much death.
- I can't open my fridge or take a hot shower without thinking and giving thanks for all we have.
- Everyone needs to experience a short term mission trip to another part of the world where there is such need to awaken us to how selfish we are in North America and how much is yet to be done for the sake of Christ our Lord.
- I will forever remember the people I met and their stories of faith and trust in God.
