Transforming moments

“It’s not what we do for a living that matters, not even the things we do in under the heading of ministry. God doesn’t use the things we do to develop us, he uses the things that distract us from what we do. It’s not so much the destination that matters, but the interruptions.” Gloria Geto

These interruptions are the crazy moments, when things just don’t seem to be working well for us. When we find ourselves at crossroads in our lives, asking where to go next. It is only when we look back, that we see how faithful God has been in our journey with Him.

I have often found that when I’m passing through difficult times, that this is when God is working out his purpose for my life. In these times, it is reassuring to hear him remind me to keep trusting him, “Be still and know that I am God; I will uphold you”. Often these times becoming transforming moments giving me the opportunity to reflect and appreciate what I have, what God has given me.

God uses these times of lack, needs or trouble for our good. When we look at things through his eyes, we gain a new perspective, which makes us want to praise him despite our difficulties. Just remember that God is working out his purpose for you and he will always be there for you. God says, “I will never leave you nor forsake you”.

Transition

We are faced with the fact to have to accept this time of transition and to see it as something God is doing. Transitions at times are painful but they come in their uniqueness by making someone step into a position that will further make him or her.
Now we have Peter Clemison as our new YWAM AfriCom Director. In this next few months, we feel God leading us to take stronger steps of faith as we look to serve Him in this continent. It's a big task that God has given us - to connect missionaries and ministries in Africa with one another and with the wider work of YWAM internationally, but I believe the He will give us the equipment to do what He has called us to do.
Our former leaders Timothy and Miranda Heathcote said farewell to AfriCom to a new plan in their ministry; my prayer for them is God should grant them the desires of their heart.
This new season has seen me too embracing more responsibilities, one of them being a new task of preparing broadcast of different articles that will go into our website that is coming up soon www.ywamafricom.org
As part of my responsibility with my team, there is a Vimeo blog that all of our video goes onto, I have to ensure with the help of the team to upload a video each month on the vimeo

Humility

This week it has been so great to meet Tom Bloomer the National Provost of the University of the Nations. I had the opportunity to interview him for the first time. Looking at how YWAM, and the University of the Nations, is so decentralised in a way that you meet with people in authority and they are so down to earth in friendly – not compared to other organisations that you can’t even get closer to their leaders in any way. Humility I see is one among many ways YWAM is treading new ground that will move it to greater heights.
