While I was excited to fly airplanes again here in Africa, I think what really had me spooled up was the prospect of getting involved in ministry - developing friendships, learning the culture, seeking to clearly communicate my own experience of God's grace and mercy to the people around me. Based on past experience, I thought the best place to start here would be to develop a friendship with someone involved in spiritual leadership. I've found that man. His name is Emanuel, and I wish everyone I know could meet him - funny, winsome, articulate, and equipped with a plus-sized heart. In addition to pastoring a church in an outlying village, he works for Flying Mission, managing a number of outreach programs that we are involved in as an organization.
The past couple of months he and I have been meeting, and I have been accompanying him on a number of the projects with which he's involved, with an eye toward discerning where best I can come alongside. Please pray for me as I become more engaged on this front.
