I am one week back from my trip to Mongolia and still trying to find the right time zone and still processing an amazing journey. I returned with both my head and heart filled with wonder at what God is doing.
In the coming days I’m going to attempt to post a few reflections on the trip (try in part because I’ve been such a reluctant blogger of late).
Perhaps the most lasting impression (beside the taste of airag – fermented mare’s milk) was the beautiful hearts of the V.E.T. NET staff. I was humbled as I watched them care for some of the least of God’s children and inspirited by how boldly and naturally they shared the gospel.
On our last night in the countryside I chose a section from 1 Thessalonians as a final devotion together and as I return home this has become my prayer for our Mongolians ministry partners:
How can we thank God enough for you in return for all the joy we have in the presence of our God because of you? Night and day we pray most earnestly that we may see you again and supply what is lacking in your faith.
Now may our God and Father Himself and our Lord Jesus clear the way for us to come to you. May the Lord make your love increase and overflow for each other and for everyone else, just as ours does for you. May He strengthen your hearts so that you will be blameless and holy in the presence of our God and Father when our Lord Jesus comes with all His holy ones.
My journey to Mongolia was a witness to God answering that prayer as His love increases and overflows to touch hearts – even mine!
