From John (pictured right with some friends in China):As you venture into any new situation you have a plan...but in missions you need to hold it loosely. We've been given an idea about what we may be doing, our schedule, who we'll meet, where we'll sleep, the type of meals that we will have...but it is all with a great big caveat of, "MAYBE."
That is the nature of missions, being flexible, being able to have your plans change and not FREAK OUT. I'm pretty laid back when it comes to things like this, but don't want to take it for granted. I'll be leading a group of 14 kids who haven't really had much experience in cross-cultural travel and ministry.
Therefore - today's prayer request is that I will have wisdom in guiding a group of kids in how to roll with the punches and allow God to work as HE sees best. To be willing to let go of their agenda and to look to a "better way." And...that I would have that same willing heart.
