A Church Visit

Today I visited the Seventh Day Adventist Church with Bibi Leah, our night matron at Angel House. The day started early with a visit to Angel House around 8 and Sabbath School at 9. Talk about radical hospitality! I felt like a rock star! I was greeted by young and old alike and immediately offered an interpreter. Bibi Leah's own grandson was my teacher. He covered 3 John so thoughtfully and eloquently. I loved the way he applied the need for modern day church networking and organization between churches across the world to the Book of 3 John.
The sermon was equally thoughtful, dealing with the call of Moses and his pleading with God NOT to send him to confront Pharoah concerning the Exodus. The pastor pointed out that each one of us needs to say a resounding YES! to God's call, no matter how riduculous it might sound to us. God presents us with blessings and opportunities too glorious for us to imagine. All we need to do is follow His call and enjoy the ride!
How true this has been for me. Not long ago, I planned to teach in South Korea, but God had plans for me in Tanzania. Every morning, I wake up marveling that God has called me to Africa! God is so good that His plans are more marvelous than we can even imagine. Thank God!
