From the heart & perspective of Hellen
Today was a day filled with adventure & beauty. We as a team headed out for a day into the Aruku Mountains. With each turn, the air was fresher & cooler--touching the deep parts of our hearts. From the mango trees to the coffee fields, we were able to see India from a new perspective. Though the landscape was breathtaking, I would have to say that the moment which truly took my breath away was 2 fisherman on our boat ride & what the Lord was stirring in each of their hearts. I sensed a curiosity and so towards the end of our ride, I asked them if they sensed something different. They said 'yes'. They noticed a peace. I then began talking to them about my best friend--Jesus. One man, Abubu, held nothing back & gave his life in full to Jesus. As he was doing so, the village surrounded around us and started to watch. It was a beautiful & unexpected surprise to our day of travel.
So, I would have to say that this was a reminder to me & the team that we are to hold nothing back because Jesus paid it all & is worth it all! Let your light shine where you are. Be sensitive to His voice & learn to walk in His presence. Because your life is meant to be an ADVENTURE!!! Peace to your soul this blessed Christmas season.
