I am a big fan of one of the recent installations on the base: a wild signpost marking how far our target outreach locations are from here. It suits us so well to have, smack in the middle of the base, a reminder of why we have come: to go. It keeps us focused on not only knowing God, but making Him known. Its such a privilege to be sent out from home churches all over the States, and then sent out from this base. I love to go myself, and I love to train and release others to go. As my friend Joey says, "We're living the dream." This coming Tuesday night we are commissioning teams to spend several months in China, and Indonesia. Its so great to launch them out from here, and see them carry the gospel to people an ocean away.
The new sign has a place in my heart because it reminds me how far God can reach from here.
And I have to be honest, it reminds me of the 4077 (M*A*S*H).
But thats a happy coincidence.
