Moving is not fun, at least not in my opinion. This is a direct result of having moved too many times in the last 20 years. Fortunately, this time we were not moving. It was the Southern Region Office.
The office has been jumping around from place to place for the last few years after having to leave South Africa due to visa issues. This week, it moved into another temporary, yet semi-permanent place. Temporary because we could move again. However, now that we have our own furniture and space, it feels more permanent.
Last week Brandi spent time tracking down furniture from a company here in Nairobi that is downsizing. She found desks, chairs, and all kinds of other office goodies at a great price. I discovered that I prefer her to shop with someone else’s money.
This week, they delivered the furniture and we began the set-up process. The set-up is not yet complete, but progress has been made.
Maybe not the way I thought ministry would look this week, but if we take advantage of any situation we can minister to others. As we continue to set-up the office I must remind myself the people I am in contact with need to hear the gospel just as much as people other places. I must take advantage of the opportunities God gives me weekly and daily and not only share with people I think need the gospel. I must be faithful where I am and with whoever’s path I cross.
All in all, it has been a good week. Busy yes, because moving always is. Good in that God reminded of the small things that I can do to make disciples and impact people anywhere.
