I wish I could have a cup of coffee with you

I would love to sit and have a cup of coffee with you. There is a lot happening.  Here’s a few things that are on my mind:

  • I had coffee with a leading pastor in Santiago, Dominican Republic several days ago.  He affirmed the tremendous need for the church plant in the area where we are planting.  He offered his support and prayer.
  • I spent quality time with the Junta de Vecinos (Association Presidents) in Cien Fuegos.  Great men!  We are developing a plan for clean water, micro-finance and health education.  Their vision is growing.
  • I had coffee with a new friend Hendrik Kelner whose family owns an awesome tobacco plantation.  They seem interested in helping us.  I am so grateful.
  • Last night the young adult team from Level 13 arrived jazzed and ready to rock.  They are going into a school today!

I have been busy.   The journey continues. There  is a factor in all of this that is huge.  In the book of Philippians there is a great affirmation that is given to the Philippian church (1:9):

The Dominican Republic was introduced to Snuggles and Wuzzles

This is my prayer for you; that your love for God may grow more and more in knowledge and depth of insight so that you may able to discern what  is best.

Here’ the deal: Time with God in His word and in prayer are huge. Paul is saying you will make “best” decisions as you place yourself in God’s hands through prayer and consistent Bible discovery. Paul encourages you and I to put first things first.  at the end of the day, I want to have proper perspective and be able to say I made principle-based decisions in as much He helped me make “best” decisions.

I have not arrived yet. Join me in the journey.

Grateful.

When people ask me what I do, the simplicity of it all surprises even me.  I connect people to people and resource and along the way I make friends and together the Kingdom is advanced.  Your faithful giving  to Barnabas Task is making a difference.
