Sorry for the long time since my last entry. Things are settling down since my move to Kansas. What??? You didn't know? Well, I didn't know either until March. It seems that the Lord has led me back to the area where I grew up near Wichita, Kansas, USA. Quite a surprise.
I've always been willing to go where the Lord wants. That's how I became a missionary with IDT near Colonia Vicente Guerrero, Baja Norte, Mexico. All of the ministry I was doing in Baja was going fine. I was busy doing street & evangelical film evangelism, as the Base Director for IDT's facilities, leading worship, giving guitar lessons to my fantastic Mexican students, etc. But, I kept having the nagging sense that the Lord wanted me to move to Kansas to do street evangelism and maybe begin a home Bible study. This went on for a long time after I returned to Baja after visiting my family in Kansas over Christmas. Long story short...IDT sent me out prayerfully as a missionary to Kansas.
I've heard it said that we are not responsible for the results when we are obedient to what the Lord wants us to do. The only time we bear responsibility for the results is when we are disobedient and doing our own thing.
So, here I am in Kansas looking for opportunities to serve and a job to pay the bills. I have no desire to simply work and live life. I take evangelism very seriously and want to truly be a missionary here just as if the Lord had sent me to Africa or anywhere else. If you think about it, please ask God to give me eyes to see what He wants me to do, boldness, and His wisdom. Thanks!
WE miss you something awful Kevin!!!! Watch out Wichita - there is one coming to you in the name of the Lord of Hosts!
