Sharing the vision

tonight I get to meet new people and share the vision of what God has called me to in Europe. This makes me VERY excited on multiple levels. I want to share two of those with you.

1. meeting new people is something I love to do. It gives me a bigger view of God when I get to see the way He has created people. It gives me a bigger world view when I get to see the cultures that people are living in. It gives me a better understanding of all people.

For example:  this past week, I met a woman on the plane ride from Phoenix, AZ to Dallas, TX. We talked for the entire plane ride and that connection proved to be one of the ways God took care of me in Dallas. She lent me her GPS and invited my mom and I to stay her place instead of a hotel. I got to visit her church and meet some of her friends. I now get to pray for her as she grows in her relationship with Jesus and helps her kids grow to know and love God. God is so amazing!

2. Sharing the vision of what God has called me to in Europe is one of my most favorite things. Because God has put the vision and passion in my heart to send the Gospel to the world through investing in Europeans, it is something I can talk about with excitement and joy!  People tell me that I come alive when I start to talk about Europeans falling love with Jesus and getting a passion to change the world for Christ.  That does not surprise me...because helping Europeans fall in love with Jesus and getting a passion to change the world for Christ.. GIVES ME LIFE!

For example: so many times when I share what God is doing in Europe, people are surprised that there is evidence of God as work in Europe. There are youth, students, business people, atheletes, government officials, and more who are falling in love with Jesus! And I often get to help Europeans see the truth of who God has designed them to be! And God is amazing!
