Everyone is settled. The lights flash on. Seatbelts are fastened.
A voice echoes over the monitor: “Prepare for takeoff.”
The engine begins to roar, and slowly the plane moves forward….
And we’re off.
In less than a week the adventure begins. Very soon I will find myself caked in the red, but beautiful, dirt of Rwanda. No longer will the “Land of a Thousand Hills” seem like a distance land found in books. It will become a real, tangible place. And I am sure that I will end up leaving a piece of my heart, truly God’s heart, in Rwanda.
Who knows what is to come. No one can fathom what the Divine has for His treasures.
He is a God who transforms lives. Who miraculously takes the clay of the earth and masterfully molds it into loveliness. For one purpose—that His name may be magnified on high.
Let us dare to venture forth into the unknown and purpose to glorify His name alone.
The countdown begins.
