Having a good time spending two days at Carey’s family cabin. It was built by his uncle in 1970, a tiny pre-fab house out in the woods -- nice and cozy. A young couple was staying there when we first arrived (friends of a friend) from Washington state. It was nice to hear their story and to encourage them in their search for a good church home when they get back from this trip.
Today is just a day for relaxing before we head out for the road again for nine days of meeting with people. Our goal is for Carey to introduce Proclaim to his contacts here and explore possibilities to work together with them in the future. As of now, we are healthy and well-rested.
Please pray that we will hear God’s voice and be led by his Spirit as we travel and meet people. Also, I confess that in the flesh I am still quite concerned about the lack of funds needed for this trip and the trip that follows a month later. But God in his great teaching has reminded me in many ways that HE is the great provider of all we need. It is interesting that in my devotional readings both Spurgeon and Oswald Chambers both are hitting on the subject of God’s great provision! Pray that I will not let the large financial cost (between $6,000-$8,000) overwhelm me, but rather that I will choose to turn it over to the Lord each time the feeling arises. Praise the Lord that a trickle had come in before I left. Pray that the flood gates will be opened wide. I am here because I know I was supposed to come in obedience to God’s prompting and I will continue to trust in that fact.
Your fellow slave,
Jim
