I have been traveling for two months now, I have crossed eight countries and three continents. Where to begin. My journey began last spring when I was fire fighting in Sask. I felt God put a call on my heart to take some time to earnestly seek Him. I did not know what the exact purpose was, but I knew that I should spend some time visiting the 24/7 Prayer House in England.
Over the summer I began planning this journey and it grew. I ended up in Rwanda for three weeks with "Limitless Ministries" helping with Camp Gahini. That in itself was life changing. I made a short video you can check out on youtube, Its titled Camp Gahini 2010.
I then headed to Durham, England for a short weekend and onward to the 24/7 Boiler rooms. They were really good. I'm still processing my time there. I spent Christmas in Norway with Asbjorn and his family. It was truly a blessed time. Boxing day I headed via train to Switzerland to meet up with Eternal Riders Swiss and help with the Power Camp (www.eternalriders.com) Now I'm in Chamonix, France and headed to Paris tomorrow.
We have been doing some outreaches along the way. The Power Camp was amazing. Many people gave their lives to Christ. In Paris we will be doing a movie premier for the Movie "White Way".
So thats a brief update on my travels. As for my experiences. God has been showing me the value of Mercy and Grace. There is no room for Cheap grace. I have gained more Fear of the Lord. My faith has been taken to the max and beyond. Traveling alone is challenging. However, I have taken the heart of a pilgrim... God is my only rescue.
We often say clichés' like "God is my strength" "Our hope is in Him" We wrestle with living out these biblical truths. I have found that it is no longer a wrestle when your only hope of a place to sleep when it is -4 outside is God doing a miracle. God has kept me in place where my only hope is Him. I have been absolutely dependant on Him this whole journey. Simple things like getting on the right train or not missing the next train. Like having money for food or being able to find internet to reach the people you are staying with. All this with a 20kg ski bag that is ridiculously big. I love the look on peoples face when I open a door to a little coffee shop holding my huge ski bag, or when I can't miss a train that is crammed full of people. I adopt the Japanese method and push until I fit.
My prayer now... Is God, finish the good work you started. Do all you intend to do, I'm with you heart and soul!
Be Blessed my friends. Live life to the Fullest for our days are numbered.
