Mission Completed
After flying over 12,000 miles this past week, I landed around 10:30 this morning back in Kansas City. My mind and backside were numb, restless leg syndrome jerked my legs in spastic movements in the miniature-sized airplane seats and the taste of bad airplane coffee hung in the far corners of my mouth, but I was content in knowing that God has answered every prayer and that the objectives for this trip to Argentina had all been accomplished.
Here’s a couple of “Did you know’s” –
- Sometime between 2012 and 2015 Latin American will become the youngest continent in the known history of mankind.
- Calcutta, India is rapidly become the Bangalore for Latin America. When you call a help line chances are you are talking with someone in Bangalore. In the next few years Latin Americans will be talking to someone in Calcutta. This means that Calcutta is desperate for Spanish teachers.
- India does not allow visas for traditional missionaries.
Do you see a connection between the points above?
I’m having a hard time getting out of my mind the images of all those Latin American and European young people to whom I had the privilege of ministering last week. They are the future.
I’m also having a hard time keeping my eyes open. Even though I was able to catch a few hours of sleep on the overnight flight, I am ready to a real night’s sleep in my very own bed! I’ll try to get this blog back to normal tomorrow.
