This past week was one of the heavier weeks of orientation, intensified by all the (mostly exaggerated) horror stories circulated by former Journeymen. While there are real dangers where I am going, my heart has peace knowing the that I rest in the hands of the Most High God. As I took in all the information and wisdom and experience shared this week, my mind kept going back to the words of David:
"The Lord is my light and my salvation-- whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the strength of my life-- of whom shall I be afraid?"
Psalm 27:1
Sometimes I think that I am bringing Christ to the people of Zimbabwe; this week he reminded me that that is simply not true. He is already there. He has gone before me and is already working in people's hearts. He will still be there when I leave and He is faithful to complete his good work. There is nothing to fear.
