My friend is leaving to go on a mission trip to Durban. She is such a sweet woman. I've watched her prepare mentally and physically for this trip. I believe that she already was ready spiritually. She has such a heart for others to know Christ. I could see her out on the mission field for the rest of her days because she loves the Lord that much. 


We have a friend that does not love God like that. But she never lets this friend's pessimism deter her from sharing the gospel message. She is not easily swayed by circumstances that are not favorable. She always comes through because she knows that she is not in control. God is. She leans on Him. And He holds her steady. 


She has not always had it easy. But through the trials she has endured, she has developed a strong and unshakeable faith that is taking her all the way to South Africa. She doesn't care for flying, but her love for Christ is propelling her on that airplane. She will trust Him as she soars over the Atlantic. She knows that God will keep her. 


It's amazing the opportunities that open up to us when we trust God. When we believe in Him, He takes our situations and turns them around or improves them for our benefit. All because we believe. My friend is leaving this continent and going to another, all on faith; just to make sure that others know about the goodness of the Lord Jesus. She loves the Lord that much. 


So, I have a question: 

• For the believers who read this: "what are you doing for Christ? What has your faith propelled you to do?" Do you love the Lord enough to sacrifice your comfort for the benefit of others? 
• For the nonbelievers who read this - will you just sit back and think about everyone that Has tried to tell you about Jesus. Will you take a moment and think what He has done? It's not too late to accept Him as your Lord and Savior. If you have any questions and want to talk confidentially, you can email me. I'll answer.
