Today is the last full day in Barasat, Kolkata.
It hasn’t really sunk in yet, but God is preparing me and my heart. I haven’t cried- I mean I’ve teared up a few times, but I haven’t grieved. Grief is necessary, when it comes to leaving this place.
God has shone through hard times, hard- hearted people, broken kids, bad circumstances, sickness and even death.
There’s been growth. There’s been joy. There has been love.
Those things weren’t here before we came.
All of it came from the Lord- ALL OF IT.
This was not an easy four months. God showed up here- in great and powerful ways.
He’s placed His hand on this place and this place is now prepared for His Gospel. It’s gonna shine here. He is gonna shine here. He’s gonna wake these dry bones and breathe life into them.
And I’ve been privileged to be a vessel. I’ve been privileged to pave the way for the King- even if it wasn’t easy.
In fact, I rejoice in the trials and the suffering. It made this journey all the more worth it.
” The Lord has caused His wonders to be remembered.”
Psalm 111:4
