Really? I checked this morning and our four remaining visas are completed and in transit. "Trust me," is usually the final thought from the Holy Spirit in times like this, not an overwhelming excitement that our visas are here. Just..."trust me." We had one final meeting last night before we leave on Sunday. Dr. Wilkes, a professor at Mid-America Baptist Theological Seminary and the president of World Wide Church Planters, met with us to answer any final questions and go over using a translator. We also got to hear several good, Steve Wilkes stories.
The area where we are going is very open. It will not be unusual for each person to lead someone to Jesus EVERY day of the trip! Maybe even households. The primary goal, however, of WWCP is to start churches, then lead people to Jesus. But, you lead people to Jesus to start churches. Dr. Wilkes says it like this, "We lead people to Jesus to start churches that will continue to lead people to Jesus when we leave."
Continue to pray for us as we draw close to departure. Our bags will be packed and at the church tomorrow morning which gives us one free day to relax and remember something we forgot to pack. Sunday morning we will be sent off by our church family in prayer. Peace.
