This Day has been Highlighted
As coach of an athletic team, you know that there are dates and games that are more significant than others for your team. As the Director of Operation Barnabas, there are certain days that are also "fixed" on the calendar. Today had the potential to be a great day or the potential to be disastrous. PTL, it has been a great day!
The Midwest Team was in San Diego for the Sunday am service at the Grace Brethren Church. That went well from the reports I heard and then they headed into the desert over some big mountains and into 113 degree heat. The Mexican border patrol stopped the team from crossing for a while, but that was prayed through and they are now in Mexicali getting ready for their two day s of ministry there at the seminary. (Anyone following the MW team and looking for photos and e-mails: Don't panic when you don't see any posts from them. The last team had a hard time getting any computer connection. So just figure that no news is good news for the next few days :-))
The Continental team had a terrific time with the Native American Fellowship Church this morning in Gallup NM and have now traveled past Albuquerque and are already on their way to Colorado Springs. They have had good weather, no bus issues, and should be in by midnight.
The Mid America team had the "toughest" drive today. Up route 17 from Phoenix to Flagstaff. This could have killed this teams summer ministry. But they made it while only having to pull over one time to let the bus cool down! They are on their way to Albuquerque, NM where the temp this afternoon was just 83 degrees.
SO we could have had disaster on three fronts. But people are praying, students are "getting it" ,and they are also being stretched.
It has been a day that has been "marked" on my calendar for a long time--and it has been a wonderful day. Looking forward to seeing how God uses these three domestic teams in incredible ways.
