Acts 1:8
8But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth.
I have a friend leaving today for Ecuador. And she's a work friend. That's how we know each other. Except that we've spent some time together in Bible study at work, studying Purpose Driven Life. The first time we went through it, I so clearly heard the call to go on mission that I couldn't ignore it. And that's saying something. I can ignore lots of things I don't want to hear. My call led to Peru. At that time, she was in a totally different place. She wasn't ready to go. Since then, we've been through other Bible studies together, the Purpose Driven Life at least one more time, and her life has changed. And she's going to Ecuador. I'm praying for her safety and that she's going to meet God there the way I met Him in Peru. Her life will never be the same.
And here's how my life's changed...I think I'm envious. I want to go too. I want to experience that closeness and power again. God really can work miracles in hearts that are open.
