Back From Missouri, and still going.

The weekend in Missiouri went well, and I was encouraged to be able to share with others about our work with Wycliffe and share about God's faithfulness in our lives. However, I didn't expect it to start on the plane ride over!
I sat next to a woman on the plane, and she asked me, "So, is this a business trip?" From there I told her about our involvement with Wycliffe, how God brought us to this point, and some of the stuff He's been doing lately. It was way encouraging. She told me I reminded her of her middle son, because I trimmed my beard the same way, and he was "on fire for the Lord" too. :) She told me a bit about her family, and before we knew it, the flight was over. As I was walking away from her in the terminal she approached me, gave me a gift and said, "I know this isn't much, but use it for your ministry." PRAISE THE LORD! It is so cool to see how God is at work when I'm least expecting it. Especially in a time when our economy is not the greatest. May the Lord bless her for her sacrifice.
Again, sitting outside of the airport in Denver, waiting for Cheri to pick me up, an older lady with long gray hair and a guitar sat down next to me. I asked her about herself, and found out she was a Christian. Then I shared with her(briefly) what God was doing with us, and about Wycliffe. I asked her if she would like to recieve our updates, but told her I didn't want to push paper on her. She said, "Give me whatever you've got, brother!" :) So, I gave her a partnership brochure, our newest newsletter, and a prayer card. When her rided arrived a few seconds later she gave me a big hug, and said, "God bless, brother!" and was gone. I wonder what God will do with her? But praise the Lord for that opportunity to share. I'll be praying for her until we meet again.
I wonder what he's going to do next!
We have been given the opportunity to share with a church in South Dakota. We have been blessed with the entire sermon time as well as the Sunday School hour! Pray for wisdom as to what to share and for more people to catch the vision of Bible translation, Scripture Use, and Literacy for the Kriol Speakers of Northern Australia. Thanks!
