A Great Privilege

Being involved in training the team leaders, evaluating team members and orienting our teams, allows me considerable opportunities to visit the amazing variety of locations in which the TIMO program works. From ridiculously remote bush villages to Urban Islamic Centers, we find ourselves in so many different types of places. And why wouldn’t we? Our teams go where people need to hear the Good News - often for the first time ever. And those places are literally all over the map. What strikes me, however, even more than the variety of our locations is the consistent willingness of our team members to sacrifice, persevere, adjust, endure, and ultimately thrive in whatever locations they find themselves. I watch them go from knowing no language, no culture, and no people to confident ministers of the Gospel in appropriate ways to neighbors they love in their neighbors’ language. We too have experienced this of course, but it still amazes me. God works, all over the place, and we get to be a part of it. What a great privilege! - MS
