Despite being sick the whole week I woke up each day happy to be in Scotland and on mission. There are so many lessons God brought to my attention while I was there, but the major points are
1.) You don’t need to leave the country to be on mission. Being in Scotland reminded me a lot of being back home. This showed me that all the things I have learned are easy to bring back home with me. Prayer walking, simple church, having conversations. All things I can do really anywhere.
2.) Our work is important. Hanging out with the youth , sharing our testimonies building a relationship are all things that could seem small but was needed. We got to know them and see how stories connected with them as well as each other. Each testimony is important even if you can’t see it yourself.
3.) Christ can work through everyone. You just have to let go and let God. Doesn’t matter if you have given your life to Christ already, new to faith, or still understanding. He can really work through everyone. I saw him through my team, the leaders, Patrick, and his friends that we partnered with. I saw Him through the youth that we met, as they shared how much His love has helped and changed them, and how they really want to know Christ more. One of the groups want to start their own worship band!
God is so good.
