Visionary Spirit

Peace be with you,The Bible School for the Nations here in Nepal is simply surreal! Vibrant flowers, majestic mountains, and gorgeous smiles are just the beginning of an epic season diving into the depths of God's wisdom found within His Word! Plenty of stories have already risen from the past few days :-)

As funny as it sounds, I'm actually homesick for Mongolia! I'm in the very midst of the magnanimous Himalayas of Nepal, yet I long to be in the countryside of Mongolia! Tis surely vision God has placed deep within my heart for His Mongolian children :-). Henceforth, here's an awesome little story about the providence of God: Over the course of this summer while I was gone, the Nepali's planted tons of flowers and painted all the rooms here at the Frontier Missions Center. All the flowers and walls are super vibrant Mongolian orange! Not even a variation of pink or red, but an exact match with Mongolia's traditional color! I returned to Nepal, but I feel like I'm in a little piece of Mongolia too... God is so wild!

BSN is in full swing with our rooster crowing at 6am every day. After a quick cup of Nepali chai, I prepare my mind for the day with some quiet time soaking in His Word. The strength of the Lord then enables me to down the 7am rice and curry breakfast every day. Corporate Nepali worship, intercession, devotionals follow with another tea break before mind-boggling Bible teachings. After a rice & curry lunch, we launch into work duties. I've been released to oversee the addition of a dishwashing station, the laying down of rock stairs, the planting of potatoes, the concept of a compost pile, and the design & construction of a 60ft bamboo greenhouse!!! I'm joyfully thriving as God is unleashing the visionary spirit He's placed within me :-)

Our Bible School Family then shares a delectable dinner of some more rice and curry before concluding the day with a couple hours of Bible study & teaching prep. Restful sleep is a much-needed delight :-) My bunk is a place where my mind sleeps but my spirit is still fully alive receiving from God what I need for the next day...what a glorious undeserving privilege :-) There are so many teaching opportunities here and open doors for discipleship! I have a full schedule of sharing devotionals, facilitating intercession, preparing a three-week Bible Seminar in India, and teaching whole books of the Bible!

My primary prayer requests are for wisdom, discernment, and time-management. Above all else, I depend upon the grace of God to passionately and wholeheartedly Love Him through the challenging tasks of daily living in a foreign culture. I truly desire the realm of the Spirit to be reflected in the natural environment God has called me to in this season. I'm called to teach, and when necessary, use words... The Kingdom of God is first internal, then external. It begins with my heart loving Jesus and overflows by diligently pursuing excellence in all I do for my King... He is worthy of our obedience to be more like Him in all areas of life! Will you choose the divine mandate by joining the intercession of Jesus to bring heaven to earth?
