I have an hour before my flight leaves for Hong Kong. I thought I would get in the spirit of the mission by ordering Chinese :) Here is a summary of the trip. I love investing in the Church in China.
I’m at the airport on my way to a medical mission with www.projectpartner.org If you want to follow the progress check back here at my blog or on the Project Partner Web Site. I’m excited to lead a team, no, I’m not a doctor but even the doctors needs support! I’d love to include you in a future trip.
One of my favorite songs is Chris Tomlin’s “God of this City.” I think about the plans God has for us in KC and believe it was written just for us. I believe it applies to us but not too long ago I heard the back story for the song and wanted to share it. Chris Tomlin and his band were in Belfast for a concert event.
My good friend, Jon DeWitt, sent this to me today and it made me think of Belinda because of how much she loves India. This sounds like something she would do Dr. Paul Brand was a missionary doctor to India who first developed the procedure for tendon transfer to the hands for those with leprosy.
Today we wrapped up the Daniel Fast with a great “Ridiculous” evening worship service. There was a lot of joy @indiancreek today. I think the fact that we were denying ourselves things that are natural in order to seek after God created a sense of expectation.
Tonight seven of us met to pray for tomorrow when we wrap up the week long Daniel Fast. We prayed for people to increase their desire for God and we prayed for God to grant us freedom from sin, addictions and the past. Before we prayed we talked about our experience fasting this week.
Today a group of men met @indiancreek café, Olathe campus, at 6 am as we have been for the last 5 weeks. We’ve been on what I call a “burst” of spiritual growth. We meet on the weeks between community group semesters.
This was definitely the best day so far. My body seems to have accepted the new diet and I don’t feel the cravings that I did. That doesn’t mean my mind has turned off but this is much more comfortable.
I’m getting plenty of fiber in my diet. I woke up at 4:30 a.m. and had to make a run for the border!
Day two was a good day. The oatmeal was good a second day in a row but a salad for lunch and beans for supper needs to change! Anyway, it is not about the food is it?
