As we are getting ready for our trip to Cleveland I wanted to share with you a similar sending out that happens in the book of Acts. At a critical time for the church, at a hostile time for them in fact, God sets apart two individuals Paul (then called Saul) and Barnabas to share the Good News of Salvation with the Gentiles throughout the Roman Empire. Acts 13:1-3 is short, but reveals that God sets apart those who have been called to do the Work of God. In other words as we get ready to go on this trip, it is by no accident that you are going to serve with us in Cleveland and minister to over 1000 children. It's part of what God has had planned for us! It is all too easy to doubt that we are capable to truly change the lives of those around us, but with the power of the Holy Spirit and two men willing to listen to God our world has been forever changed. What then should we think now that we are taking 25 people eagerly awaiting to do God's will? As we pack and get ready, take some time to pray, asking God to equip us and guide us to His will!
