45,247

2007 has been a whirlwind event - so far, with just 3 months into the new year, I have traveled 45,247 air miles. I woke up the other night, looked around the room, and actually paused for a few seconds to figure out where I was!
Zambia in January - just a short trip to show some Americans Kafulafuta and the ministry in Zambia.
China in February - a two week trip that allowed us to teach/preach at a conference as well as encourage some folks through a Bible study.
Honduras in March - another two week trip that included a weekend with the kids along with a week long spiritual emphasis week.
Through this all, the Lord continues to teach me how large and diverse the body of Christ truly is. While in China, I met people from Russia, Mongolia, Bolivia, Tanzania, Chad, Zambia, Angola, Malawi, United States, Dominican, and others... When it came time to worship, I could only think of Revelation 5 where every kindred, tongue, people, and nation worship before the Lamb of God - it was actually quite an experience. It is very easy to fall into the Elijah rut, believing only my type of Christianity is the right way and everyone else has fallen into worldliness.
I look forward to that soon coming day when our faith shall be sight. The mass of humanity will bow and in perfect unison, worship our Great God and Saviour! In a world of darkness and foolishness, there is much to look forward too!!
