How far would you travel? 100 miles? 1000 miles? How far would you travel to fundraise for a cause? I met a great man of God, a Pastor and Missionary from Kenya a couple of weeks ago in Kentucky. Pastor Elijah Wafula was traveling in our area and preached for us about 'God's Purpose in you'. I spoke with him for a few minutes after the service and exchanged contact information. He invited my family and I to come to Kenya and see what the Lord is doing. He Pastors a church and has planted several others in his area of the country. He also started an orphanage for children in his community.
It just amazes me how much my heart has been changed towards missions. Not a day goes by that I don't think of and pray for my friends on the mission field. It probably doesn't make sense, at least not in our country, the land of plenty, but my heart is there, serving. Maybe it's just God changing my heart. But to quote my new Kenyan friend 'God's heart is for missions.'
Here's a link to his website http://vbministries.com/
God is still awesome, and doing a great work in our times.
Remember Look Up, Live Life, and be Thankful.
