Brazil is a place that is close to my pastor's heart for many reasons. Brazil is one of the foreign mission trips that we will be taking in 2009. Up until this point, I was kind of lukewarm about the idea of going. Africa is a place that is near to my heart and at first I thought I might try to find another group who was going and head back.
I missed the informational meeting (Brazil) this past Sunday and a friend filled me in today on the "gist of it". I did some of my Experiencing God study, and as I ended in prayer, the desire to go suddenly became very strong and very urgent. The only obstacles in my path, as always, are work and money.
I've been going through the Way of the Master training and begun applying the principles locally. I've prayed for a greater burden for the lost and a stronger sense of compassion, to obliterate my (very) strong fear of man. I don't know the exact path that God is leading me on, but I do sense (and pray) that missions will always be an important part of it.
That being said, our Single Ladies Oil Change is this Saturday from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m. Come on out if your car needs an oil change! Pray that we will be faithful in talking to these ladies and ministering to them.
