"Day 5" here and there

Here
Today I was able to talk about the mission and what God is doing over there. I was getting excited talking about it. I have intentions of going back next year to continue the relationship that have been established. I received an email from Fiston yesterday. It was really exciting to hear from him and hear that he is getting rest since we left. Also he was telling me that the leaders are beginning to implement what we were teaching in their churches which is amazing to hear! I haven't even begun to look at all the video footage from the mission but will start on that this coming week.


Day 5 (Congo)
I shared my message with the Church of the Holy Spirit in Buholo today. The confidence that God gave we vas incredible. It was a very new feeling but I did not have the time to analyze it so I just went with it as I began to share my message.

I made a friend with a child named David and got to get to know one of our translators a little better. He name is Frank and I wish I could describe his personality to you so you would know how funny he is. After church they asked Rachel and I if we would lead the youth service. I was unprepared for that and let my worries take over my confidence. I understand what level of readiness that God wants me to be at now.

The amount of things we are doing each day is really showing the importance of writing in my journal. God is showing me so much that I am needing to write everything down just so I can process it all later.

Tonight we went to the worship service at the church in "industriale." That was incredible to just sing and dance. I had been looking forward to it for many months. I did get a bit carried away and someone (who I thought looked like Rick James) told me to calm down. Seeing all the children excited to sing and dance during the worship was truly amazing.

Driving through the streets all I see is one giant habitat project. I understand that the city needs Jesus more than it needs repair. Although this is fuel for me to finish my engineering degree that way I could possibly be able to help with repairs on the city one day, God willing.
