The Waiting Place

"The Waiting Place...for people just waiting.  Waiting for the train to go or a bus to come, or a plane to go or the mail to come or the rain to go or the phone to ring...waiting around for a Yes or No." 

We are waiting. We anticipate a change...soon.

Anticipation seems to carry a "pleasurable expectation."  It's the months before our children are born. It's those eager days before that long-planned vacation.  It's a promise kept, a trust coming to fruition, and a feeling of excitement.  Everyone on earth has experienced anticipation, regardless of race or nationality.  We believe this because we saw anticipation in Ecuador when a child lifted an empty bowl to meet a full ladle. Or, when a tribe met a missionary pilot's plane that had landed in the Amazon jungle.  We have seen eager students who stood at the door of  education in Romania and villagers who met their pastor's canoe on the banks of the Amazon in Peru.  We have seen families push past big, wooden church doors and spill onto benches in Albania to hear God's word.  We have seen women gather in Australia for home Bible studies.  We have seen the Jesus Film projected onto bed sheets suspended from poles in Belize.  We have seen the gospel proclaimed through drama in a Warsaw city square.  We have seen churches being built where languages will proclaim the gospel of Jesus Christ.

If you are a follower of our blog , then you already know that Mission Corps is our second career.
Each year, we have the opportunity to stand beside and serve missionaries who have been called and who are actively involved in sharing Christ with many language groups. And, they have seen, too!  We are presently waiting for our next Mission Corps assignment.

           the Places We'll Go

We are waiting, but we call "it mending our nets." We have been fishing in many parts of the world, and now we wait because we know we will cast off soon. By the way, all believers have nets.

"He (Jesus) saw at the water's edge two boats, left there by the fishermen, who were washing their nets."
(Luke 5:2) NIV
"He (Jesus) noticed two boats tied up. The fishermen had just left them and were out scrubbing their nets."
(Luke 5:2)  The Message


Keep Looking Up!  And, we will keep you posted!
