Being prepared to be unprepared

David w/ team mate, Will

The week on the island had been tiring but immensely fun as well. I have been able to witness the wonders of God's creation & more importantly His Spirit at work. Being prepared to be unprepared — that’s something that I have learned to embrace during my training — to not be slothful in my responsibilities but also to trust the Lord to take charge of all situations. 

Those that know me know that I don't speak well; I mumble and stumble over words. I was blessed to lead four Bible studies while on the island. In all four, God provided me with inspiration to smoothly deliver the truth. God also showed me that He can do a lot in a very short time with those that obey His will. 

Our stay on the island was only for a week and our actual ministry time there just three days. But by following one step of obedience after another, my team was able to minister to at least 15 separate families. All in all, ministry on the island taught me a lot not only about missions but also trust and obedience to God and the leaders He has appointed.
