Not My Words

Romans 10:14-17 
But how can people call for help if they don't know who to trust? And how can they know who to trust if they haven't heard of the One who can be trusted? And how can they hear if nobody tells them? And how is anyone going to tell them, unless someone is sent to do it? That's why Scripture exclaims, 

   A sight to take your breath away! 
   Grand processions of people 
      telling all the good things of God!
But not everybody is ready for this, ready to see and hear and act. Isaiah asked what we all ask at one time or another: "Does anyone care, God? Is anyone listening and believing a word of it?" The point is: Before you trust, you have to listen. But unless Christ's Word is preached, there's nothing to listen to.


Please pray that as we go, we go out of love of God. That God's love inspires and encourages us to love others. We cannot do any of this in our own power to the glory of God. It was a great day in Union Square Park, a lot of tough questions and interested people. I'm still about $1,000 short of my full support, so please also pray that I will be able to stay on the team! 

apprehension:

Although I am not anticipating "evil" as the word literally means. I do feel it fits quite nicely. 


Oswald Chambers said something today that I found interesting "A saint realizes that it is God who engineers his circumstances; consequently there are no complaints, only unrestrained surrender to Jesus". Way to hit the nail on the head, Oswald. This is exactly what I, a saint, need to understand! I need to give up my rights to God. Even when I am potentially terrified of what is going to happen when I do. 


Saturday we will be going to Vermont to train a church and then we leave for New York City on Monday. We will stay until Saturday morning when we leave for Scranton, PA. 
Please pray for total surrender. 

The beginning.

This is going to be very exciting! Here is a blog all about a missions trip to New York City. It is an awesome opportunity to go into all different places around New York City, Albany, Lake George, and Philadelphia. People in those area's are literally in dire need to hear the Gospel. 
I will be updating this blog throughout the summer with pictures and prayer requests, so please check in, comment, ask questions, give advice, prayer, or support, etc.
