Greater Things
"I tell you the truth. Anyone who has faith in Me will do what I have been doing. He will do even greater things than these because I am going to the Father" John 14:12
It was a big day. We began by taking part in a Pastor and Missionary training to encourage the locals in mission and vision. K shared her testimony of going from “ordinary” to “extraordinary”. I used the illustration of the Polaroid to share vision and faith believing things hoped for that is yet to be seen. A boldly preached on reaching the lost and nothing being too hard for our God.

The audience was attentive and genuinely interested in what we had to say even though we are worlds apart in so many ways. After our lunch break the rain came again, but only for a short while. Again we worshipped the One true God in a land where millions are present. I told the parable of the sower – and what and how the seeds grow he recognizes is not his responsibility – he just goes out and sows and sows. We also had the “Flower” story.
The men had a time donning their floral head pieces. But the saga of the “tulip” – the flower that desired to stay planted illustrated Pastor P’s heart the most. “Tell them again about this illustration.” His mission is to see the 300,000 villages that have never heard the Name of Christ evangelized. His desire is to see the missionaries “GO!”
