A few thoughts
In the past 9 weeks of our Discipleship Training School, as we have prepared our hearts to go into a world dying to find a hope that will not disappoint, I have fallen in love with the people that I will be living with for the 3 months we are in India. The Holy Spirit has given me such an appreciation for all that they bring to the table. The strengths and weakness that exist in our team beautifully complement each other so that already I see how we work together so well. The giftings each one is blessed with encourage me so much any time we engage in fellowship. Jessa, Youve taught me to love at all times. Odessa, Youve taught me how to be EXCITED about Jesus, because Hes the BEST THING EVER! Jaima, Youve taught me how to pray with passion and zeal. Ryan, Youve taught me how to trust God walking by faith, not by sight. Jonathan, Youve taught me gentleness and selflessness. Prakash and Mary, Youve taught me how to build up and speak life into others. Its amazing to realize that even before we were born, God had chosen each one of us to be on this team. There are only INCREDIBLE things ahead of us waiting to happen in India. I cant wait
