Meeting with the team

Tomorrow morning - August 13 - I, John, will be meeting with Pablo to share with him about our recent health update. Pablo and his family just returned from a 2 week trip in another village where he sold things.

This will be a difficult meeting in some ways, but also a time to "pass the baton" as one of the books by Tom A. Steffen that I read in seminary encourages. Everything that we teach and live needs to be reproducible by those who live here. That does not only apply here in Mexico, but everywhere that we go as Christians.

Though I may be passing the baton (a track term) quicker than I planned or wanted to, I realize God has already prepared this stage of the race, and that He does not make mistakes.

I ask you to pray for wisdom, clarity, and peace as I share the fuller vision with our team tomorrow. Also, that the work will proceed even faster, more natural, more cultural and even more biblically contextual through this exchange.

To God be the glory, for His story!
