On the Way

Taste and See (Psalm 34:8)

Frequently the miracles and spiritual encounters that Jesus completed during his earthly ministry were done while He was “on the way” from one place to another. At times, the Scriptures tell little news about the main event for which He traveled to announce the Kingdom of God but much detail concerning the amazing acts done while on the way. Consider His meeting with the woman at the well. He was on the way from Judea to Galilee (John 4). The cleansing of 10 lepers occurred while He was on the way to Jerusalem (Luke 17).
 

At other times, the person soon to receive a blessing was the one on the way. A prominent example is the story of Phillip sent into the desert by the Lord. Once there, he met an Ethiopian eunuch on the way home and introduced him to our Savior (Acts 8). These examples encourage us to pray that our spiritual eyes and ears remain discerning. What appears to be the main event of a day may not be. Our main event may be secondary or tertiary to the Lord’s agenda for us, setting the stage for an encounter we meet on the way!

Come and See (Psalm 66:5)

Thankfully, we have experienced numerous on-the-way moments in our missionary journey. Opportunities have developed from witnessing on airplanes, at checkpoints, in restaurants, or in bank lines. Sometimes, the Lord provides a resource or contact in a mundane meeting. This week Verlin stayed up late enough refreshing a computer to join a CHE Global Service Team meeting with international workers at 6 PM, Arizona time. News of concerted efforts to get CHE lessons in foreign languages (including French) shared via the CHE Global Network blessed him. Secondly, a cell phone app to enable CHE reporting on the go has been beta tested for refinement and will soon roll out. We anticipate sharing the opportunities the Lord develops through this capacity in the future. Verlin also learned of two experienced CHE trainers who speak French that he considers qualified to share in the training rotation at the UFHB. This was terrific news since we are on a time-sensitive search for more experienced international CHE trainers at the university in September.

and frozen avocado

Debbie persevered and is about halfway through the first run of collating CHE lesson ideas into a single lesson format, as sought since 2017. This week, on the way to that goal, she improved her skills to keep our temples (i.e., bodies) healthier: she made sauerkraut to increase our probiotic consumption. We use it to share how diet develops defenses that prevent ulcers and simultaneously address Vitamin K2 deficiencies that raise blood pressure. She also practiced freezing our yard’s abundant avocados for later use.

Prayer & Praise

• 🙏 Praise the Lord with us that Corbin found an apartment closer to work!
   
• 🙏 Debbie’s dad recently had an experience alerting us to signs of declining health. Pray for restored strength to handle daily activities.
   
• 🙏 We desire one more experienced international CHE trainer who speaks French for late August and early September university events. Ask the Lord to fill this need quickly so we can address travel plans and expenses with the different planning committees enabling the joint effort
