That was a great little chat, I remember him actually crunching down on the chicken bones in his mouth as he commended us for eating their food and still feeling incredibly American and guilty for not eating all the matoki on my plate. I guess its a reminder that we never know who’s watching when but anything that bears the character of Christ will inevitably speak volumes in a self consumed world no matter what part we find ourselves in.

thanx AP…thanx.
Succesful missions trip…hmmm…it’s the motivation for flexibility: yielding to the spirit…submission…I guess every moment of our lives (wherever we are as missionaries) would be succesful if we would obey the LORD.
I’m gonna keep thinking

Thanks for the Uncle Jacques tribute. I don’t know MacArthur very well (I heard him preach once) but I think Jacques is clearly someone we were privileged to be around. As for point #1 – I remember he mentioned something about our first day and the little trip out to Agape Children’s Village. We were a bit weary from the 20 hours of travel, but since we arrived at 7 AM, he thought he would show us this place. We didn’t think much of it at the time (it’s a mission trip, be flexible). But, I think our positive attitude and thankfulness towards him for taking us there make an impact. It is amazing how a little positive energy, patience, and kindness can affect people. And that, I think, is the mark of a succesful trip – the people we sought to assist (Jacques, Thomas, Shannon, Katie, etc.) all responded in ways that surprised us and humbled us. It did not seem like we did much, but their response, and the relationships I have been able to continue with them, are the mark of success. Thanks be to God for using these fallible instruments for His glory!
