\”I\’m departing for Kenya, Africa… in 2 hours\”
She couldn\’t believe what I was saying and to be honest on thatTuesday a . m . I wasn\’t considering in traveling at all. Egypt and Mexico felt enough for the month (so I believed). However close to eleven o\’clock, as I was browsing a book, taking in my second cappuccino and strongly picturing the unwinding times ahead, a disruptive email arrived and broke the day in two:
Are you able to travel to Kenya tomorrow?
The message was from Jono Hall, director of the Forerunner Media Shool at the International House of Prayer of Kansas City. Graeme Spencer (head of production for God TV) joined the conversation from Washington DC and asked about if I could lead worship in Kenya, that Thursday. After a few seconds of extreme pondering, I completed drinking my flavored coffee and wrote a tentative yes.
Hours later, I used the airline boarding pass from my smart phone and boarded flights for Chicago and Heathrow (London) where I joined the fatigued yet warm and friendly God TV group. We all got a snack and boarded British Airlines flight 879 for Nairobi, Kenya. It absolutely was Wednesday night, once i finally arrived at Africa.
Having basically 3 hours of rest, I jumped into a small rented bus heading for \’mountain base\’. This excellent drive brought forty-five minutes of safari driving incorporating classic British chat (try that when you have jet lag).
High in the hills the morning sensed like almost epic: the raw fragrance of the wild, the sun-drenched colors all-around it appeared as if nature grooving. Backstage, a corn country field became majestic hills which ended on blue skies. It was amazing; creation at his finest (with a divine touch) the Watoto children choir of Uganda rocking the entire stage.
For up to six lengthy hours we worshiped and transmitted unrehearsed (live TV) to the nations. Definitely wearing, but totally unique!
At sunset, we all left mountain base and went back to the hotel (through crazy uneven roads you\’ve not observed in the best movies). Some hours later, I kissed Africa farewell, jumped into a number of air carriers in Europe and made it back to Kansas City, on Friday (for dinner).
Now, that\’s something I call \”ministry on steroids\”a exhilarating kingdom adventure, the adrenaline rush of traversing the globe in twenty-four hours, feeling the awareness of God\’s presence on your soul, and also the superb delight of an incredible experience.
Finding the Puzzle associated with an Captivating Word
The paragraph above posesses a gripping and captivating word. I\’ll be perfectly sincere, I shared my journey Kenya to focus on the value of that word. I promise: learning the word will assist you to figure out the yearnings of your soul and identify the reason for much of your victories and failures.
Think of yourself inside a location where magnificence, memorable trips and thrilling adventures take place just about every day. Envision an existence in which dullness is faded and fascination is the prominent experience of the soul.
Suppose you may enjoy a constant story, within a world in which love and majesty frequently take your oxygen away?
This is one thing not enough people fully grasp: deep in the hearts we long and desire experience. All folks long for to \”experience\”. It is not really \”things\”, \”status\” and \”success\” we want, it is the feeling those ideas provide we are after, the way they make us feel inside.
I have much to teach about this subject, but this post is already lengthy… don\’t worry… we\’ll meet again.
