Have you ever had God give you the nod? You know, when He lets you know that you're on track with something specific...We got the nod a few weeks ago.
The story begins one Friday afternoon. We're talking about a possible Spring Break road trip. Zack mentions a couple of places, and I chime in, "or New York?" but quickly follow that up with "but we don't really know anyone there."
Not so fast.
Two days later, we're at church, talking to our missions pastor. There's a church planter visiting from out of town and he wants to know if we will take this guy out to lunch after church while he attends a staff meeting.
So we take out our new friend, Steve. Steve is a church planter that works, where else, but... New York City!
I should mention that we've been seeking some cross-cultural ministry experience that all four of us can get involved in...
Steve goes on to tell us that he thinks it's a great idea. What's more, he works with a couple who is starting a Russian-speaking church. And the real kicker? They're from Ukraine!
So looks like we'll be hitting the road for the Big Apple soon. We'll do some touristy stuff, and we'll also get some missional experience.
I am so excited about how God is working all of this out!!
