The Holy Spirit really is a funny guy. Any expectation that I had coming into training camp about how God would work and what He would do was completely torn down. Once again God has messed up my mindsets in an effort to refine and renew me.
Arriving at the Atlanta airport I was hesitant to meet my team. As I anxiously approached the meeting area I was welcomed by a huge hug from my teammate Charlie. The first evening I kept to myself and endured the initial social awkwardness that I knew was inevitable. Fortunately it took less than twenty-four hours for me for me to become completely comfortable with my new family. Watching how the Spirit is unifying our team is incredible. Having an encouraging community that will be a starting point for new relationships of love and trust develop so quickly is an obvious work of the Spirit.
My biggest fear, and my friends and family back home can attest to this, was having a team that was not unified and not walking in the Spirit. Not only was this a fear of mine, it was actually a doubt. Reflecting on the past four days I realize that it is God doing this. Once again I am reminded that He is in control, and He planned this. Our team is a result of eight willing and completely surrendered broken servants that God has gathered together for the accomplishment of His will.
I’m so excited!
Having this unity in the Spirit is going to change every aspect of ministry in Honduras in the best way possible. I cannot wait to be walking through the Honduran streets carrying the Kingdom with these brothers and sisters of mine. I have faith that the Spirit is going to flow in and flow out of us. He is going to convict, save, heal, comfort, love, and bring joy, peace and hope to the Honduran people.
Shabba!
