POWER OF GOING

Met a young missionary from CA today. He is a 5yr old Christ follower who is on his third 2 month trip to Africa. The light in his eyes, excitement in his voice fueled the fire in mine and Rodney's hearts. He shared about the power of "going". A recent college grad who is enrolled in med school for the fall, our friend traveled to Kenya to serve Africa Inland Mission projects. He journeyed to a small village in northern Kenya to do whatever they needed. What he told us next demonstrates the power of going.

"I came with no real expertise, no medical training," BUT GOD is using him in a big way. Hearing the needs for a community medical center our friend offered to help. Soon he found himself re-designing the building floor plans, making suggestions and offering to raise funds in the states. Then the village chief informed him that gov't assistance was available to pay for 50% of the project budget. He believes God will raise the rest. Our friend is changing the world by simply going in faith.
