As I write this our hearts are overflowing with joy unspeakable. Since last Wednesday we have been surrounded by the Word of God and the people of God along the deputation trail. We are just coming from a missions conference in Alabama, where the pastor's daughter has been praying for a missionary to go to Mongolia. She prayed faithfully from 2008 through 2009, and it was during the fall of 2009 God confirmed in my heart that I was to be a missionary to Mongolia. Praise the Lord for allowing us the privilege of serving Him in a foreign land, and to be a direct answer of prayer for a dear little girl in Alabama!
This conference was a help and blessing In every respect. Great preaching on missions and surrendering to God's will, meaningful and encouraging fellowship with God's saints, and some incredible down-home cooking.
We have since come to be in a missions conference in South Carolina. Tonight was our first night in the conference, and already God has provided in ways we would never have imagined. I was on the phone with the pastor and he was giving me the address of our hosts this week. I told him that I would need their phone number so that I could call them when I was close to arrival, because I did not have a GPS. Well, we made contact with our hostess and made it safely to where we are staying, and in the process of showing us the accommodations, she produces for us a brand new Garmin GPS. Needless to say, we were, and still are, overwhelmed at the giving and kindness of God's people.
I personally am thankful for the deputation process. Realizing that we are just brand new and understanding that the excitement is still very high, I look forward to the next few months with anticipation. We are going to see God work in ways that strengthens both our reliance on Him and our resolve to serve Him.
Confirmation and encouragement have been ours thus far, and holding on to the Omnipotent hand of our Heavenly Father we move forward, confident in His perfect will.
