Peru or Bust!

In three days, I will be leaving on a mission trip with my some people from my church.  Powerhouse has a covenant church in Piura, Peru.  When they asked who would be interested in going, I quickly raised my hand.  I never even stop to think how I could afford it, if I would get a passport on time, and if I even really wanted to go on a trip outside of my comfort zone.  I just raised my hand. 

I started my campaign within a week’s time, because I had to raise the money.  If some generous benefactors were not going to give in to this trip, it would not happen.  But, God.  He has a way of softly placing you on people’s hearts.  He has a divine way of letting you minister to them, so that later on they are compelled to give.  Not because of you, in spite of you and the fleshiness they may have seen.  They remember that bit of ministry that God allowed to pour out of your mouth.  And they give.  They give with such generosity that you are amazed.  Nevertheless, you always know that it is not you.  You were not the popular one that just had droves of “fan club” members.  You are the one that God used for His purpose, because you finally allowed him.

Yet, here you are counting down the days until you go on this epic adventure.  This trip will set the stage for what is to come in your life.  It is a moment where doors for Christ will be opened and the past will be shut for good. 

Here I am. More to come.
