Well Inneke is heading back to Canada tomorrow. Going to drop her and the kids off in the Jeepne very early... yikes, you know how I love early mornings. Very exciting time for me as I am facing the challenge of cross cultural communication and leadership in a ministry situation. When I worked for a company it was much different... people did their jobs because they enjoyed it, but also because they were obligated... if they did not do it you could find someone new. Not so easy in ministry. My vision is not to just maintain things here while Patrick and Inneke are away, but also to move things forward and bring Christ and freedom to more people.
Situations make you realize your true character and areas of your life that you have not allowed Christ to crucify. Hit home again those verses in Romans about not doing what you want and doing the things that you don't want to do. Who is this other man living inside me? Also considering how careful one needs to be when bringing "biblical" principles. Are you bringing God's ways or your cultures ways which you erroneously think are superior. Sometimes feel scared to move or do anything because you are worried that you won't do the right thing... but I guess you just have to trust that God will use you because you are yielded to Him and it is not just you.
For those who have missed the video posts, here they are...
