This is the blessing that Jackie Pullinger left us with as she finished up her week of teaching in this DTS and it has been something that has continually played through my head as we continue to grow closer to outreach. In less then a week I will be once again following Gods call as I, my co-leader and 14 amazing students will be on a plane heading for Nepal for 2 months. I can't wait to be overseas again and have the amazing privilege to once again be God's hands and feet to his broken lost children.
As this blessing has been continually on my mind it has really got me thinking about what my mindset should be going into this outreach. What would it look like if I went in to it with the expectancy to boast in nothing but Jesus and my weakness in him? What if I was willing to be honest enough with myself that without Jesus I am weak but with him I can step into whatever he has for me? What would this look like, and despite how hard/humbling it might be, how much more room would I give Jesus to work if I was willing to do this?
So with that being said, my main goal over these 2 months is to daily be willing to boast in Jesus, and only Jesus and allow him to show up and work on a daily basis.
Thankyou all for your prayers and I will make sure to update you guys as often as I can
