I appreciate your faithfulness in hosting FaithJam each Thursday so we can share our stories as we sit side by side on the bus.

I'm ..."link hearts for the journey."<br /><br />I'm glad you on my bus here online, Lisa! :)<br /><br />I LOVED seeing you in action doing VBS!! Thank for sharing the stories of the women on the bus with you -- it is so humbling to be inspired by those who are walking by faith. They are the unsung heroes of faith... btw, I loved you as the "star" or sunflower, too! Getting blessed by others on a missions trip is definitely a big blessing. Everyone's guards are down, when we're all in unknown territory! :)Bonnie Grayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10331275947237285245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-66485740451515949172011-07-30T20:43:45.343-05:002011-07-30T20:43:45.343-05:00Nikole,

I’m thankful God knows who to partner us with to either assist or be assisted by. <br /><br />So thankful to be walking along this part of our journeys together, and partnering in more ways than just words on a screen. God knows our heart prayers for each other.Lisa notes...https://www.blogger.com/profile/07103364395238899215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-62744653971254509602011-07-28T15:55:50.097-05:002011-07-28T15:55:50.097-05:00A brilliant reminder to really look at and listen ...A brilliant reminder to really look at and listen to those we work with, come alongside of and journey life with...so much to learn about how God works through us all.Mama Mpirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03286444396409505857noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-60710196620293839432011-07-28T15:51:00.163-05:002011-07-28T15:51:00.163-05:00Maria,

We were very blessed by how hospitable the people were and our evangelism team in particular was encouraged by the people’s willingness to listen as the gospel was shared.Lisa notes...https://www.blogger.com/profile/07103364395238899215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-6075325707329192252011-07-28T14:46:46.589-05:002011-07-28T14:46:46.589-05:00I love this perspective on noticing, knowing, and ...I love this perspective on noticing, knowing, and loving who we're serving with.

We think God has put us there to minister to someone in need, maybe that's true, but mmaybe it's someone else that needs us or that we need. As Christians, everyone we come in contact with is there to assist us OR be assisted by us.

I agree that sometimes we forfeit great gifts God has for us, when we don't take the time to reach out in friendship to those we're serving with. We need to be aware of both the non-believers AND believers alike, who God brings across our path. Thanks for the inspiration!

I admit I had moments on the trip where it seemed like too much energy to try to get to know people that I might not see again after that week, but I’ll see them in heaven for all eternity! And by knowing more about them, I grew more in love with Jesus. So it’s always worth it. <br /><br />Praying for you and those you are serving with as you care for your parents…Lisa notes...https://www.blogger.com/profile/07103364395238899215noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7748971557355406797.post-66844177431668545732011-07-28T07:43:58.689-05:002011-07-28T07:43:58.689-05:00You look so cute as Miss Sunshine. :-D
