halfway point.

We have reached a week into this trip! Wahoo, my legs are getting pretty tired but I am trucking through!
So much walking.
It feels like we've been busy finding people here but after a conversation I had with my team today, it felt like we just started because we still haven't found that man of peace which can be very discouraging at times and the work seems overwhelming.
But, this is not about me, my team or even the ministry here, it's about God: who He is, His Glory and His Kingdom. My heart has never been so broken for a people group more than it has for the people here in the city. I've said this before and I'll say it again, I have never prayed so much in my life than I have this past week. Everywhere we go, we are consistently praying.
What a beautiful display of Christ's love affecting our hearts.
And that leads into God's call for us to plant seeds. Being bold. Sharing Jesus. Sharing the testimonies that He has given us. Serving Him with pure and gentle hearts.
As much as we think we're planting, there's a warfare that is beyond our comprehension. But, I'm understanding more of those barriers thanks to this trip. And I'm realizing how much works needs to be done which starts through prayer.

This verse keeps coming up:

And He said to them, "The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few. Therefore pray earnestly to the Lord of the harvest to send out laborers into his harvest. Go your way; behold, I am sending you out as lambs in the midst of wolves." Luke 10:2
