Sometimes Love comes around and It knocks you down just get back up when it knocks you down.

Let me Tarantino it. The spinning stops, the banging sound of metal screeching and glass shattering silences for a second as the smell of gasoline fumes hit my nostrils, adrenaline trickles in. First thought, It's gonna blow make a run for it(thanks Hollywood) adrenaline increases. 1.5 seconds later, I'm out the window ready to head for the hills, reality and reason start to surface as the shock of seeing Tommy laying motionless his head and torso under the rear of the van hits me. How in the world did he get outside and under the van, this is not good. Adrenaline increases, I try to lift the van with everyone in it by myself.  Honestly I think it moved but not nearly enough. As I yelled for everyone to get out I saw a Malawi man I had jumped over to get out as he lay dead looking with blood gushing from his head. I feel no pain but there's blood on me and I could be hurt. Everyone gets out pretty quickly we lift the van largely with the help of Dan's great strength and adrenaline and Melissa pulls Tommy out from under it. God didn't bring us here to kills us like this, I know he's going to be alright. Locals begin to the surround the van in a couple minutes there are hundreds of people.

            I find my phone on the floor I really put my Otter box case to the test and it passed. I get a hold of Josh because I don't know what 911 is in Malawi. Amazingly none of the 200 people around me speak enough English to tell me where we are. After a few minutes I finally find someone to. As Josh tells me to find a ride and not o wait for an ambulance because they take hours a military transport truck pulls up and Tommy's on his way to nearby a hospital that's just happens to be 5 min away in the middle of nowhere within 10 minutes of the crash, better then the average time in the U.S. God or chance, you decide. Daniels half blind his glasses flew somewhere, He's also got a nice piece of glass in his hand, Juliet's arms looks broken everyone's else is just dazed confused and beat up.

Malawi has been awesome. God has done so much these past 2 weeks. He's brought many people to a relationship with Him as well as encouraged and challenged many other singles, married couples and church leaders. He's planted two churches where the chief's of the small rural village joined. He's given out very much appreciated Chichewa(local language) bibles which not many believers are able to afford here. He's used his children to bless and encourage each other and see his Spirit and power at work. He provided a small dirty pond in the middle of some fields where He was able to baptize a dozen or so of the new believers in the second church he planted. My team was so greatly blessed and stretched to work out our faith by the local pastors we worked with in the village of Dedza. Were not powerful preachers and were not expert door to door evangelists and we definitely haven't experienced much in the marriage department enough to teach workshops on it. Luckily though, God is able to equip those whom he calls, and speak his truths to his people through the inadequate if they are but willing to be used. I'm learning faith and boldness is more like a  muscle then a achievement.  You have to exercise them and put them into practice regularly to build them up. I've never had to preach sermons so much and on instantly small notice to a array of audiences whom I have little understanding of. I've never written a sermon and I don't have a go to bible story, but I've got a little bit of the Holy Spirit and a big God who is able to step in and take over the words if I can just have the simple boldness to ask and open my mouth- to God be the glory.

            God has been teaching me a few things this past week. I got another opportunity to "count it all joy" when I went to visit my 4^th doctor on the race (one in every continent so far!) it was just another case of food poisoning or bad water, I'm better now. Still I'm learning that I need to stop trusting in modern technology and society for my health and start trusting in God. The same goes with "safety" and many other things. The truth is I am no "safer" back home or more "healthy" although I rarely get sick there. "Unless the Lord builds the house" which is your life or even your body its health and your safety is a waste. Marathons runners and millionaires in gated community's drop dead in an instant just like everyone else. I think it's times I start taking the fact that I am living in eternity to heart and stop focusing the vast majority of my time on things that are temporary.

                        Lastly, God really spoke a resounding message to me through a couple of avenues yesterday, which is a big deal to me because I don't feel like I often here God really communicating to me significantly. In the morning a friend shared a devotional with me about Caleb from the bible, how "He followed God fully" and received the mountain of Horeb as his inheritance. How he was as strong at 85 both for war and coming in as going out as he was at 45. Since training camp the whole Caleb and Joshua story has been spoken over me but its realty never fully set it. In the afternoon on our buss ride to our second village God really spoke to me through and awesome Francis Chan podcast from a conference. I've heard scores of his sermons but this one was the most unique. He started with asserting that many Christians have really become immune to sermons. We may listen to "radical" speakers or those who speak "hard truths" and wear that like a badge of honor but what the hell are we doing for heavens sake. Have all the powerful messages I've heard really had a powerful operating manifestation in my life. Or do I just say amen that's true and not really change my life much.

            Jesus didn't seem to take a lot of stock in his own sermons. He said "those who have ears let them hear", I think because his message was pretty simple. If you want to save your life Lose it all of it, everyone and everything in it take up your cross and follow me. Make me the entirety of your life not a pastime or hobby or one of your pursuits.  No one starts building a tower without counting the cost at the beginning. The cost of Jesus' way is EVERYTHING. If you aren't willing to give that, its not for you, why are you wasting your time. I don't know how to justify God saying Mat7:22"Many will come to me in the last days saying Lord Lord have we not prophesied in Your name, cast out demons in Your name, and done many wonder in Your name?" What? I'm on a mission trip in Malawi Africa, I sleep in a tent full of dirt and walk around preaching the gospel, but I'm not sure if I've cast out any demons. I certainly can't clearly tell is someone is truly possessed, or converse with the demon and ask Him his name and command him where to go. I don't think I've prophesied or done many wonders in God's name. So these guys are ahead of me but they're still missing it? What's the standard? The verse before "but he who does the will of the Father." Ok what's God's will. Primarily I think it is to be loved. Consequently, his will is to have a personal relationship with every human being. Moreover, he is a God of Justice and righteous. He wants the whole world to be full of his Glory and justice. Just like Adam's job was to bring the fruitfulness of the garden into the bareness of the world and change it. Ours is to bring the fruitfulness and glory of God to the "end of the earth." So is that my goal in life? For these next five months sure, its definitely one of them. If I took a survey of every thought I had word I spoke and dollar I spent I cant say its definitely the main one but its one of them.

 After the race? I don't know, Id like to get a job that's fun and take some vacations and play some sports, maybe get married. I'll never forget God but the whole making his will the EVERYTHING in my life seems a bit much, where do you draw the line 50/50% seems fair. That's the paradox. The only place a line could possibly be clear would be to draw It at everything. Giving 10% and going to church on Sunday, trying to be moral, and a few missions trips is a joke when you honestly look at the bible. I'm not saying God is calling everyone to sell everything or even to move; but if

1.     Your not tuned into God enough to be able to hear him if he did call you and

2.     2 if your not willing to do give up anything and everything

It's pretty clear Jesus' response would be "He is not worthy to be my disciple" and disciples are what its about.  Jesus didn't send the 12 out to make modern day American I've got my ticket to heaven give 10% and try to love people Christian, or even I took 11 months to be uncomfortable for God as well as to make myself feel better and seek praise from others prideful self righteous missionaries.. He sent them to make Disciples. That's the only thing I want to do. Honestly I'm hesitant to lead someone in a "sinners prayer" to "ask God into their heart" neither of which are even found in the bible, if I don't think there will be others to come behind me and disciple. I guess for now I just have to trust God to continue the work he starts with us but that certainly should be the goal not conversions or some acts of kindness in Jesus' name.

            Francis's favorite verse is James 5:17"Elijah was a man just like us" Often I forget that God is the same now as we was then. I forget that his power is the same and there is no reason why my life can't look like Moses, or Elijah's, or Paul or Peters, or Caleb's. I think sometimes I set them on a pedestal like I could never be them or like them, but Jesus says those who follow will do even greater things them him. I believe now. There is no difference. The things the world sees as "radical" is less then boring compared to the bible, that's my standard. I've heard modern day stories, now I want to live them. Of course I can't expect to experience what they experience with out deeply knowing the God who did them. So I must lose the things I know in exchange for something better, I must lose my life if I want to save it because God is always open to receive a life but you have the freedom to choose how much you are willing to give. I want to give everything. I don't know exactly what that will look like for me, but I know what the results will look like.

            He ended his sermon reading about Caleb, saying he wanted to be like Caleb. I want to be like Caleb, one of only two people who believed God. I want to be Caleb. The 21^st century version of him with the same God. I don't know what tomorrow holds, but I don't care. I know who holds tomorrow. Francis says he doesn't believe what other say, He know his God can do the same great things he did with Elijah with us. --BANG my podcast is interrupted with the sound of our right rear tire blowing loudly and thumping against the wheel well. The noise made my heart skip a beat for a half a second but then reason and my experience with numerous blow outs at even higher speeds reminded me it's not big deal just remove your foot from the accelerator and keep straight until you slow down enough to gradually veer off the road. In the second that thought process we start to veer left, hard, way to hard this shouldn't be happening I yell something to the effect of "NO why are your turning!" were headed for sideways and I know what the next outcome in a top heavy minibus crammed with people only the driver has a seatbelt and the back seat isn't even bolted down. As I cover my head with my arms as instinct I developed I think both from being launched off many tubes at high speed to skip across the water and from surf crashes to protect from the board and fins hitting my head. It starts. Over and over we go. It's loud, where have not control, like being caught in a crashing wave rolling over and over except instead of only having a sandbar to hit there's a conglomerate of metal and people and luggage. We roll somewhere around 3 times for what feels like about 6 seconds, 6 very slow and scary seconds. I was nervous of a sudden impact or for everything to just go black, but it was just the same thing over and over until finally we were at rest. I began with what happened next.

            Tommy is out of the hospital recovering with no broken bones or internal bleeding. Everyone else is bruised up but where alright as well. I have no doubt God was with us through and after the crash working in our bodies, and in the driver heart as well(blog to follow.)Tommy is still in a neck brace and quite sore so keep him in your prayers, and be encouraged that God hears them and protects his children and makes all things work together for good for those who love God and are called according to his purpose. To God be the glory.

"...nor do I count my life dear to myself so that I may finish the race with joy and the ministry which I received From the Lord Jesus to testify to the gospel of the grace of God."

**I'll give you the cliff notes version, I humbly ask that you pray for me, I have a weak spirit and a mighty flesh. Pray for my fellow racers and teammates. Pray for  Vitalie and his missionaries, Serge, Octave, Sasha, and Alex, for God to provide for their needs like more power of His sprit, food, land for a church, and transportation. Pray they might continue to forsake all for him rather then peruse trusting in themselves.**

The rest is just a dialogue I've been having with myself and some of the things I'm learning and God is revealing to me, it's long for me but if you have the time feel free peer in.

I've heard it said and tend to believe that if Jesus were to show up in the average church on Sunday morning most of the people wouldn't like Him. When I look at Jesus' life, his followers, and the life of the people I've met around the world I start to see a large gap form between their life and mine. The gap between real faith and faith like the demons(james 2), faith without real works, between the power of God and acts of man, between life and death. I think this gap is where the power of the Holy sprit, God voice, miracles, healings and real fruit get lost and shallow, prideful, self-righteous, human acts take over. 

The first place I noticed this gap was in how the bible explicitly states that anything asked in Jesus's name will be given, and again that anything asked in prayer through faith will be yours. I had to conclude that prayers which were not answered must not have been asked in whatever true faith is. From their the story of the Faith of the Centurion where Jesus said  "I have not found such great faith even in Israel." showed me that the greatest faith Jesus said he found was that of a man who simply believed that if Jesus spoke and action it would happen; or in other words Faith is simply believing that God will do what he says. That gave me a pretty tidy definition of true Faith and helped me understand why all the other things people call faith really aren't and thus the verse whish says anything asked in faith absolutely will be granted can still be true. So the next problem is what if you don't hear from God clearly enough to discern what he says he will do?

Jesus seemed to have the best connection with God while on earth so I took a look at what he did and how well I was following that example. At the beginning of Matthew Jesus starts his ministry with 40 days of fasting in the dessert alone. Wow, that's not for me, I've only made it one whole day fasting a couple of times and I don't have time to take over a month to go be alone with God in the wilderness. I know he said "when you fast" and talked about the time for fasting after he left, but I think ill just ignore that for the most part I mean its not a commandment. Some have suggested  fasting from "screens" like my ipod or the computer so I don't have to experience real hunger pains and be reminded how my god is my belly, but that seems like a stretch of a fasting was meant to be, so ill skip that as well.  Jesus also got up before sunset to pray on several occasions but that's way to early for me. So we'll come back to him.

On to his disciples. When he called them from their boats they left everything and followed him. Why didn't they think to say "hold on Lord, we have to clean all these fish we just caught then we could sell them and give the money to the poor and bring some with us to buy food and clothing and maybe to bless others with. Or we at least have to pack a bag ad get some shots first, we could get sick and die!  Why would they leave EVERYTHING? He certainly doesn't expect that from me does he? I know he told a rich man to go sell EVERYTHING he had and give it to the poor and then to come follow Jesus but that guy probably had more money then me so that doesn't apply to me either.  I know Jesus also said "If anyone comes to me and does not hate his father and mother, his wife and children, his brothers and sisters-yes, even his own life-he cannot be my disciple.²⁷And anyone who does not carry his cross and follow me cannot be my disciple... any of you who does not give up EVERYTHING he has cannot be my disciple." BUT I  want to focus on the stuff I gave up!, not all the things I'm still holding on to. I want to believe that I've given up enough and even though He told his disciples to out with nothing, it's alright if I just take a backpack full of stuff and a visa card. It's practically the same and I can expect the same things to happen despite my unwillingness to really be vulnerable and truly have faith in God to provide.

I want to ignore that Jesus says "Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven. ¹¹"Blessed are you when people insult you, persecute you and falsely say all kinds of evil against you because of me. ¹²Rejoice and be glad, because great is your reward in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were before you." because persecuted for many of the disciples meant being severely beaten and stoned and beheaded. I'm hardly persecuted at all but I still expect to have the kingdom of heaven. I hear stories of missionaries today being dragged before counsels and threatened and persecuted but I avoid that. I don't really believe its something to be considered as "blessed" in the since I desire such a lifestyle. I also want to ignore where God says He has chosen the poor in this world to be rich in faith because I know half the world lives off $2 a day so I cant pretend to not be rich anymore and I want to have the comforts I'm use to. I want to pretend its ok as long as I say I'll use my wealth to bless God. I'll believe its ok to spend more on myself if I give more to God because that's the measure- the amount of money I give compared to what others give- not where the entirety of my heart is.

I want to have enough Faith to believe he died for me so I can really do whatever and go to heaven one day; enough Faith to live in a way that bring me the most joy balancing my desires with following God's calling as comfortably as possible while holding on to the things I don't want to let go of. It's ok if that Faith doesn't produce the wonders it did in the bible, I'll pretend my faith isn't lacking anything. I want to believe that God is not actually calling me to be fully dependant on him by giving up EVERYTHING, or believe that EVERYTHING only includes some things. I want to ignore that in order to graduate seminary Vitalie got dropped off in a foreign village with no money or phone, or food, or bag or anything but the clothes on his back and had to survive and preach the gospel and actually have Faith in God for a week. I want to ignore how he said that's when you see what kind of faith you have and what kind of power of God you have. I want to ignore that I'm not really up for that kinda of vulnerability. I'd rather dismiss that God called him to move into a town with no money or friends or church. I want the closeness to God Vitalie has, but I don't want the shivering nights he spent sharing everything with orphans or not knowing if he would have food , or how he would survive, but simply trusting God and living by Faith that came along with it. I want to start with something more established. I don't want to go hungry or cold, or be sick.  I want to ignore my actions and thoughts and concerns which scream that I don't fully trust God. I want to pretend that if God said to me today" mail all your stuff  and your visa card home and go to Africa with only my power, I will provide for you" I probably wouldn't be up for that. I want to ignore when Jesus says we should "live by every word that proceeds(continually) from the mouth of God" and live by some words which God once spoke, a few He's speaking now, and a lot of bread. I definitely want to ignore "give to everyone who asks." Sorry God my ipod is just plain more important then your words. I want the destination not the journey, the faith without its testing, dead faith, pseudo faith, partial faith, powerless faith, faith like the demons.

  Sure I'll serve God some, with part of my time, life, and money. I just have to keep some back though. It's reasonable. I'm a human being not a human doing. I'll put less emphasis on the doing all the things Jesus talked about and more on the "Being still" verse that is referring to not being fearful, but ill take that as an excuse to be lazy when I don't "feel" like being what Jesus was, a servant of all. I'll follow him as long as I have things like food and clothing taken care of beforehand. I'll never live in a position where I absolutely NEED God to provide in order to survive, that's what he gave me visa for, it's everywhere I want to be so God doesn't have to be. I'll use just enough to live well above the average person in the world and even the people I "minister" to. I wont really become like them or esteem them better them myself, but I'll  spend some time with them to make me feel like a good Christian. I wont give every second every breath, that's too much. I want to believe that I've given enough,that God's satisfied, that I can enter the narrow road and the Kingdom of Heaven without following many of the things God says it takes.

NO!

 I'm done believing the lies of the devil. God's made it clear what it takes to be his disciple, EVERYTHING. I'm done listening to those who tell me to be content with where I am wallowing in giving part of my life. I must first count the cost before I set out, least I find I have not enough to finish and deceive myself into believing that a tower built with missing pieces will be able to stand. There's more and I will never be satisfied until I give it all. It will take time and growth, but that's the pursuit and everything I hold on to and ignore in the meantime is not of God; It will only slow me down. I know God still loves me and he's not upset with me, but He wants so deeply to give me life to the fullest and I gain nothing by settling for lukewarmness, even on the World Race.

 So please pray for me. For my pride, lashing tongue, greed, gluttony, judging, speaking evil of others, showing partiality, being selfish, lack of patience, trusting in money and so on. Pray that God would break me free so I could serve Him whole heartedly. That he would rip everything I hold on to tightly from my hands so I might have nothing left but Him. That my Faith would be fully in Him so that anything I ask in faith will be given. That me and all my squad mates would remember that neither he who plants or waters is anything, but it is God who gives in increase. Pray for Vitalie and the missionaries in neighboring villages, Serge& Oxanna, Octave & Natalia, and Alex. For God to provide for their needs like food for their children, land for a church and transportation.   we all would remember that without God we can do nothing of substance and remember the importance of seeking Him and the power and need for prayer. God Bless

I've really enjoyed these past two weeks in Moldova. Our contact has one of the biggest hearts and strongest drives to see the kingdom come I've ever seen in a person. His life is devoted to God and ministering to the community as well as running an orphanage and single women's shelter. Ministering to orphans is especially important here because there are over 20,000 in the country of Moldova and many either sell themselves or are taken into the sex trafficking industry or end up in prison because they have nothing and must steal to survive. There's a huge need here and few who are willing to give their life to meet it but God only needs one person to do a mighty work, and I'm excited to see him use our contact. There's been talk of sponsors dropping their funding in which case the orphanage would be closed and the elders of the church would each take in 3 children each into their own family's. It's sobering to see that kind of commitment but I hope God will provide before that would have to happen. If you're a believer I ask you to read James 1:27 and se if God would call you to support the ministry to the orphans here in some way.

            On a lighter note, I've also enjoyed walked around the rural community visiting people homes and praying with them and inviting them to church. The people are usually very happy to talk with us and  super hospitable. One single mom, from the church had some of us over for dinner one night and prepared a feast for us. Another afternoon we were heading back to the church for lunch when a truck randomly dumped a huge trailer of  corn stalks he was delivering to an elder women in the middle of the road. So we spent 30 min or so helping here move them against her fence and afterword she surprised us with lunch.  Every time we go walking I end up finding something to eat be it the usually apple from the many trees, or walnuts, or plums, or if were really lucky concord grapes which are delicious.

I'll end with a story. We were walking to the school to do the afternoon kids program, where I was going to help act out the good Samaritan story(I was playing the good Samaritan) when we saw and extremely drunk man we had seen stumbling around town earlier laying in the middle of the road. My first reaction to walk around him I didn't really want to try to move him and a car stopped and a couple local men drug him out of the road so I didn't have to worry about. The though that I was literally headed to act out a story about an almost identical situation crossed my mind but the guy in the bible story got robbed it wasn't his choice. This man choose to drink himself into stopper so I'm not expected to help him right? Plus I have to do this kids program for God so I don't really have time anyway. Fast forward to church that night guess who standing(swaying) in the front row..the drunk guy. Again my first reaction was, great this is going to be annoying and disruptive.  Then the pastor Vitali, told us the mans name was Dameon, he was drunk(obviously), that his wife died a couple years back and he couldn't handle it and eventually became an alcoholic that he needed Jesus and love and asked us to come up and pray for him.  Woa, I guess he thought the church should be the one to take this man in despite his stench and behavior and disruption he would cause in our church service where we were trying to learn about and worship God. I think Vitali's heart was a little closer to Jesus and mine was more focused on myself.  I was slightly convicted and the verse "it is not the well that need a doctor but the sick "came to heart."We prayed for him and haven't seen him back but for all we know he could have been an Angel sent to see if we really are willing to act like Jesus when it's uncomfortable or just when its easy.  I got to see a little more of the Pharisee in me that day and hope it will continue to decreases as God increases.

Please pray for Vitali and his ministry here as he fights to find funding for the orphans and single women's home.  He's currently doing more jobs then an one human can possibly do right now and what little support he is receiving may be out at the end of the year. Pray for God to send partners who will come aside him and the ministry here in Cornesti. God Bless

A video Amanda made from our time in the DR last month  

Yesterday I was playing dominoes with Herby when he said he had to go with the driver to the "market"; so thinking we were going to the grocery store, I tagged along and thought I might get a Gatorade or something. Four truckloads and 400 cement bricks later, we now have some bricks to repair the wall and building which were damaged during the earth quake. My backs a little sore from loading and unloading them all, but It felt good to do some manual labor. Today, Francis, the owner of the orphanage, returned and got to share with us how the orphanage came to be.

            She was working in the peace core when she gave a fellow worker a ride home because her normal ride was sick. This lady normally took leftover food "home for her dogs", but when Francis pulled up to where the lady was staying she saw a line of 30ish children with bowls.  Turns out she was bringing the leftover home to do what she could to feed many starving children. Compelled with compassion Francis began cooking more food so there would be more leftover. Eventually she began serving the children food once a week at her home. Once a week turned into twice and there times, then four. From there was heart wrenching miraculous story after story of children being dropped off or left, outside the orphanage gate or abandoned. One child she brought into the hospital the nurse told her was dead and the morgue was on another floor. Long story short hes is older now and alive and well.  Some parents were killed, some couldn't afford or just didn't want them, but now she is their mother. Her house is there's. They have a school and safety and food and clothing and shelter and a love for God.

She's truly an amazing women and I'm inspired to help her and the children out these remaining 2 weeks. I believe will be putting a roof on the cafeteria they're building  and other work as well as playing with the kids and teaching English and doing vacation bible school  on the weekends. We were able to go to the beach and the mountains which were both beautiful. I think were going to make a trip to a waterfall as well sometime, I'll try to put some pictures or a video up. Thanks for all your prayers.

James 1:27 Pure and undefiled religion before God and the Father is this: to visit orphans and widows in their trouble, and to keep oneself unspotted from the world.

Friday was our first day of "evangelism", walking through the rural community and talking to people at their Holmes about Jesus. We had spent time in the days prior in fasting and prayer. The pastor had us split into two groups which I wasn't expecting because we only had one translator and he went with the other team so I figured the pastor and his wife would do all the talking since we don't know much Spanish. Unbeknown to be at the time Megan was praying for God to send divine language  intervention or an interpreter, and right before we got to the first house, the pastors son Moses and his friend Richard, who were both translators and gifted in evangelism came riding up on a motorcycle. At the end of the day, at least 5 people prayed to receive Christ quite eagerly, and we prayed for many others for health their family and safety. Many of the people we talked hadn't herd much about Jesus at all. A few of them prayed to the virgin Mary but didn't understand that Jesus was the atonement for sin and the only way to God. Still, once we explained this they were quite receptive. It was a cool feeling to actually talk to people who hadn't really heard the name Jesus. I feel like God really went before us because nearly every house we visited and person we talked to seemed like a divine appointment. It was definitely a faith strengthener and encouragement to me to see Him work and seeing hope and life being brought to those who were lost and hurting. 

I know God calls us to make "disciples" and not just converts, but we explained that asking Jesus into your life is just the first step and the church we are working with is in place to disciple theses new believers when we depart so its hard for me to believe we were in the wrong. I have faith in God and the pastor and his wife and the church to pick up in watering the seeds we have planted so that each person might grow in the power and love and strength of Christ. Yesterday we continued walking through the community and talking and praying with people, as well continue to do this afternoon as well as hosting the church service tonight at 7. VBS starts tomorrow and should be an adventures, I feel like there could be 100 kids there which well be a miracle to control with one or two translators, but I'm excited. Please continue to pray for us as we talk and pray with people today and lead the service tonight and put together a vbs next week. God Bless
