Have you ever felt like the mission in front of you was daunting or overwhelming, and at the same time, you were looking forward to it with a great sense of anticipation? Our whole team felt that way not all that long ago. Now here we are 13 days later on the last leg of our journey from London to Chicago - Mission Accomplished! Or is it? Yes and no.
Yes, we accomplished what we believe God had set before us in going to Tanzania to do a leadership conference, crusade, and marriage seminar. However, after 9 out of the 11 team members experienced that side of the Tanzania partnership for the first time, they realized there is much more work to be done.
We had just finished our last session of the marriage seminar, and before returning to Hotel Tilapia to pack up to head to the airport, Mpemba took us to see the land where the new church building and radio station would be constructed. And typical of every time we'd get in the vehicle, we drove by 100's upon 100's of people in need of the hope and salvation that Christ offers. Not unlike the 100's that are on this flight ... and the 100's that you potentially drive by every day on your way to work.
So, is the mission ever really accomplished? Not until Jesus wraps this whole thing up! Until then, we are all 'on mission' all the time. Who has God placed in your path so that He might reveal Himself to them through you?
