the beginning of the end

The last week here in the city has been a busier one. There is loose ends to tie up, logistics to work out and friends (finally returning to town) to meet with one last time. Its been a welcome change of pace -better to go out with a bang, ya know? It has been a great few months investing in lives here- to see what our Father is doing and to join Him... such a privilege. The fellowship with Him in sharing the pursuits of His kingdom is a sweet thing.
My very last coffee date was with my dear friend that became a believer last year. We drank coffee and read the bible together as i lead her through scripture's instruction on prayer. It was a sweet time for us both- i just kept being overwhelmed by the privilege it is to help guide another person in being a follower of Christ. His family is truly beautiful, and to love our brothers and sisters is a serious commission. Loving these people has been no sacrifice. Its simply been a joy and privilege to me from our Father.
Thank you again for your prayers and support in sending me out to preach the Word, teach the truth, answer for our hope, and strengthen others in the faith. Its been a well invested few months and I am excited to return Stateside soon.
But before i hop continents, there is more adventure in store! My team and i are flying north to the Capital- for some debriefing and time to unwind a little. Stay tuned- I expect the next couple posts to be an exciting change from grey city life down here in the south.
