Lacking
I have been struggling lately. I don’t know why, but when I look at my journal pages, I want to write, but I’ve got nothing. I pick up a book to start reading and while my hands turn the pages and highlight the words, I don’t remember anything that I read. When I hear worship songs lately I hear the words and sense the emotion, but I feel … to be honest … nothing. What’s going on? I seem to have fallen into this sense of lethargy. Have you ever felt that way. Tired. Not from a lack of sleep, but definitely from a lack of something. A lack of heart. A lack of passion. A lack of interest. A

Sometimes I just don’t get it. No matter how hard I try. Have you ever had an amazing thing happen in your life? You know, the kind of event that “changes” you? The kind of event that makes you take inventory of your life and assess where you are and what you’re doing? The kind of event that leaves you inspired to make changes, do things different, and never go back to the way it was? The Afters have a song entitled “Never Going Back to O.K.

Last Note from Nigeria
Where to start on this final post from Nigeria … To say that God has done immeasurably more than we could ask or imagine would be a gross understatement. To say that we have seen God’s Spirit work in the lives of the Fulanis that we met in camps and the Imams that we met in town would do an injustice to God’s work and Spirit here. To suggest that I will return to the states with a different idea of ministry, sacrifice, and following Christ would be a pathetic thought in light of what we have seen here. To recap some of what we have seen: I was able to preach in front of a small Fulani church and pray for a pastor’s struggles with lea

Immeasurably More
While the internt has been frustrating (I can’t get an email out), I’m thankful for the blog! I can’t begin to exress how amazing this trip has been. The last two nights we have spent out in the bush talking to the Fulani people. Both nights we have been able to stay as guests of the camp’s chiefs. Unreal. We are currently in the middle of the holy month of Ramadan for the Muslim faith, so having the opportunity to sit by the campfire at night under the stars of Nigeria and talk to their leaders about Jesus … unbelievable. This morning, after spending two hours last night sharing the story of the Bible, one of the camp leaders came in a
