Back again, after taking about a month away from the blog. I trust your Christmas was blessed and that your 2010 will be blessed, as well.
This is the time of year when I have to submit my narrative report, which is a compilation of the reports of every member of the team. It is always exciting to see the things God is doing and where he's working. Our schools are healthy, and that is one of the high priority items on our radar screen. Our newer capital city church plants are all growing well and are healthy. That's exciting. Our short term missionaries have had some key ministry opportunities here and we've had the most we've ever had. We will be adding a family to our team, who is on loan from the West Ridge Church in Atlanta. And we could go on and on.
On another note, we're gearing up for our busy short term teams season. It's always an exciting time, as folks from our churches in the U.S. have the opportunity to be directly involved in advancing the kingdom in very practical ways. They help put on church roofs. They raise money to help us increase the capacities of our schools, etc. One team coming this year is a medical team, who will help "open doors" in an area where the Gospel has been preached very little.
2010 should be a great year. Why not? God is in it and we look to Him to lead the way. May we follow His direction.
