Just confirms in my heart what God has been challenging me with the importance of reaching out in service to others--in missions in some way.

We have "had" him for 3 years and he sends us wonderful letters and pictures and always signs them as, "Your child".

Knowing that people were here lifting him up in prayer and helping "take care" of us while he was gone was such a wonderful feeling. Those people show that no matter what your role might be--teacher, preacher, financial contributor or prayer warrior--we can all be involved in spreading God's word!Amberlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12804411864499912341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24778390.post-10043088149598450232007-03-20T14:56:00.000-05:002007-03-20T14:56:00.000-05:00I love when you talk of this Cyndi!

We went to Taiwan a few years ago..parts of it were hard on this spoiled, comfort loving so. Ca girl! By the time we had gotten off the plane and gone through China's screenings (they were screening your body temp!!) I was ready to turn around and go home. A group of bible college students were at the airport to greet us, and they were singing this.."oh the joy of having nothing, being nothing, seeing nothing-but a living Christ in glory and caring for His interest here on earth." suddenly it was o.k, and I wanted to be there, I knew I was right where God wanted me.Hen Jenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17237819297457183820noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-24778390.post-64057849087932634562007-03-20T11:32:00.000-05:002007-03-20T11:32:00.000-05:00To be in the grip of serving God's people is a won...To be in the grip of serving God's people is a wonderful place to be.

You write, "Up until we consciously, deliberately gave what we treasured to the work God was doing in another country, my heart had not so firmly been planted there as well" and I say AMEN. The more we consciously give the more we are entangled in others' lives.
