The Body of Christ

This weekend I learned something or more was reminded again of how great our Lord is. As I have been talking to people about my trip most are excited and many want to know more but the consistant comment is always how brave I am to go with a team I have never met before. 13 people all from different backgrounds from all over the US. But I have come to believe that yea I guess it might be brave but our one for sure thing in common is the love of our God. That commonality is huge and bonding!

Aaron Strumpel was in town this weekend and actually stayed at my house but as I went to his concert I was moved by his raw love for God and music. Later we went back to my house and a group of us just prayed and worship and had a great evening together and with our God. But the thing I am getting at is that it was natural to have him join us, to talk and sing with him. I have every faith that it comes from God--- that as the body of Christ we are able to encourage and enrich the lives of people we don't even know because we have a common love and purpose. What an amazing thing!!!



So am I scared to be going with 12 people I don't know to Africa for 3 months? No because I know God will work and bond us together in Him!!!
