Day sixty, ten remaining. I was blessed today by a number of people asking about my visa. Cheryl and I now wait, as we expect my travel agent to bring news in the next two days that she has received it from the Russian embassy. I have no worries about it, not because I thing it is 100% guaranteed I will receive it, but because I believe God's purposes are 100% guaranteed. If our God wants me in Vlad He will open every door, finalize every detail. I sleep with no anxiety regarding the travel logistics. Nonetheless, I think we'll receive it Monday or Tuesday in Greenville.
As far as travel goes, I want to travel as light as possible. In New York and in Moscow I hope to not be burdened by too much luggage. Honestly, I would like to bring goods to leave with our hosts and new friends, bringing much less back than I bring to Vlad.
In church tonight I thought of others who are praying for me, wishing me well on the trip, and who probably gave for the designated offering for the trip. I thought of how many of them would like to take a trip like mine in the future. I pray the door would be open to many others. Prayer: "O God who seeks the lost in every nation on earth, please open doors for more of your people to go in the name of Christ and share your Gospel with Paul-like boldness to every creature on earth. Give your Church the passion, the initiative, the desire to either send or be sent. In the name of King Jesus and for the expansion of His Reign, Amen."
