So today is the end of my traveling, for at least the next six months. I have been all over the world and have seen God at work in many ways and in every place. From Africa to Asia to Europe to South America. I have learned and experience many things on this trip which I will never forget. One thing I have learned is that there is one God, and He is the same just God to the entire world. There are many characteristics of God the He has placed in the different cultures, each revealing its own form of that character. However, there are also the fallacies of man which have pervaded all cultures as well. Every people group and culture has its own story, its own take on the world, how it came to be, the nature of "God", and the nature of men. These things shape their "worldview." These patterns of thought then form the basis for values, and a societies values effect their everyday actions. When these things are out of an alignment with the Biblical truth, there begins to be corrosions in these societies. I have been burdened now with the responsibility of communicating to the world the things I have seen, how they fall into line with this pattern, and what we as the church are responsible for doing in order to see transformation in these societies. There is a lot to be sorted out to be presented in an orderly and concise fashion, but this is a labor of love that God has given me the blessed opportunity to take part in. Thank you so much for your support in what I am doing, I hope to be a much better communicator over the next few months, and continuing on for the rest of my life as I continue to carry out the work the Lord lays on my heart.
