The past few weeks have been quite amazing. First off the radio school has started doing in-house broadcasting for a half hour over lunch and dinner. This is a great experience for them as it allows them to operate and run equipment live like the would be at a radio station. This is a great step for them and I am really enjoying the shows thus far. The radio school as a whole is going very well and I am looking forward how each of the students will be an impact to their communities and cities after they get out into the world.
The DTS (discipleship training school) just returned from spending six weeks in Uganda. It was really great to see them again and catch up with what happen over their outreach. I could see drastic changes in many of their lives after talking with them and closing the last week of their school. Ten of the twelve DTS students are going to be coming back at the end of June to attend the School of Video Production. I am really looking forward to seeing them all again.
The other week at my church small group we were going over miracles that Jesus performed in the book of John. We were looking in John 4:43-54 where Jesus heals an officials son. The official came to Jesus, expecting to take Jesus to his son to have him healed. Instead Jesus simply tells the man “You may go. Your son will live.” And when the man gets back home he finds that his son has been healed. Something there challenged me. Maybe it was the official's religion, maybe his culture, or maybe just the way he was used to interacting with people, but he expected Jesus to be physically present in the healing of his son. How often do I expect to feel God's presence or expect him to noticeably move? Doesn't God move all the time? Isn't he always working and moving and working in the world?
How many times I forget how awesome and creative and intricate God is. And I am thankful for his constant involvement in my life and in this world. I need to understand that God is always working, even when we don't feel his manifest presence.
Thank you all for your continued support and prayer. I will be visiting toledo here in a couple months and really look forward to seeing you all. I pray that God be continually active and blessing your lives.
