This morning during our pray and share time, we looked at a devotional from "My Utmost for His Highest". The devotional talked about how we should not rejoice in our daily successes on the mission field, but instead we should rejoice that we have a right relationship with God. Our tendencies as Christians is to ask if we or someone else is useful in the kingdom work. That is not something that is left for us to decide. All we are asked to do is simply be willing respond whenever He calls. If we have a right relationship with God, we will be able to clearly hear His call and respond. If we don't have a right relationship, then we will respond based on our own needs and desires, and not those of our Savior.
Today our teams focused on discipleship. We are gradually seeing the North Americans move to the background, as the local Christians move to the forefront in this process. No matter how many times I see this process take place, it still amazes me. Our South American brothers and sisters in Christ boldly take the baton of discipleship from the North Americans, and teach new believers as these new churches form. It is the true picture of Acts 1:8. Tomorrow will be our final day with the local Christians, and tomorrow evening we will gather these new churches together to celebrate what God has done here in Sullana this week. Continue to pray as our time here draws to a close.
In Christ,
David
