Spiritual markers

Remember spiritual markers. 

Turning points in personal history. 

Moments of growth when God gives wisdom. And courage to take the next step. Boldness to enter something new.

Remember significant signposts in His Word. 

And give thanks.

Unknown

College student on a flight. Me. Heading to the unknown. 

Meeting up with the rest of the team in Seattle. Then we fly together across the Pacific Ocean to Taiwan. There we’re scheduled to serve for ten weeks in various cities. 

Suddenly, people on the plane start exclaiming. Calling others to look out the windows. 

Clear, blue summer sky. 

And we’re flying over snow-topped Mt. Rainier. 

Magnificent.

New believer

New believer. We meet for encouragement and discipleship. 

This young woman lives behind walls in her country. No access to community. Seeing only immediate family members.

She came to know Christ while practicing English via video call with a sister in our local church. 

Now we connect online. According to internet strength. 

And if her electricity is on that week.
