So the past few church services I went to have been either a missionary or a guest speaker. The first missionary I got to hear was Thurs night at Wildwood Chapel and that was Kirk DeVenney. Who is he you ask. Let me tell you... :-) He is the founder of the school I am going to in Guatemala. He talked on trusting and obeying God. One example he gave was how he became a missionary. He kept telling God that he was going to be a pastor and he was one at a church. God kept putting on his heart to be a missionary but he did not want to. Multiple times he ignored the call. And then one time a pastor called people forward for an altar call and God told him to go up bc he was going to be a missionary at that time kirk did not go up but then the pastor had everyone come to the front. Kirk says it was like the parting of the red sea the whole congregation went up front and went to one side or the other and him and his wife were in the center. The pastor came down to them and said we are going to pray for these two bc God is calling them to be missionaries. He still was not bought yet but then a lil while later some lady whom he never met before came up and prayed over him word for word what that one pastor did. After service I got to go over the pastors house for dinner and got to talk to kirk and find out more about what we are going to be doing down there! he got me more exicted! i cant wait its like one month away!!!!!!
Sat night at victory I got to hear Christopher Alam. I loved the video he showed at the begining it reminded me of honduras and was getting me even more excited to spend 6 months in Guatemala!
Sun morning I went to a church in Ambridge and they had a guest speaker there too. He talked about following Gods plan for his life. I found it ironic how the last 3 services I went to all had to do about trusting and obeying God, following his plan for your life. Then for the thanksgiving service tues night victory had people giving testimonies and then had everyone thank god for the things he did in there lives over past year. One thing I was really thankful for was that God never stopped putting missions on my heart (i know that he does not give up on us) but it got me thinkin about how many times i just ignored it or pushed it aside. and then every time i went into looking about what should be my next step missions or ministry school kept getting brought back up. I am very glad that I am going in Jan now whether that is what the "missions call" i had on my life or not i am not sure but one thing i do know is that i WILL know by the time i come back at the end of June
