Testimony

This past Sunday, I woke up with a mix of anxiety and excitement. Susan and I would be representing Team JAMES and giving testimony in front of the whole church about the great opportunity God was giving us to love China's orphans. I had anxiety because I wasn't sure how the congregation would receive the mission trip. Also, Susan and I hadn't practiced the translation in its entirety yet. However, despite it all, God gave me peace and reminded me how He had led us to this point so far. God would surely see us through to the end.
His peace brought excitement at what the possibilities would be if the church was supportive of the mission. Praise God that the testimony and translation went smoothly. As we were giving testimony and I looked out to the congregation, I noticed how attentive everyone was and how God was capturing everyone's hearts.

Afterwards, I marveled at what God had done; He had weaved together all of the meeting's testimonies and worship and included us as part of His plan. Glory to God and praise God that we were able to witness His glory. He reigns!
