Years ago there was a song I loved to sing. The words were "It's not about me, Jesus, its all about you for your glory and your praise." I understand these words at a deeper level than I ever have before. My dependence on God has increased this week and I know that "nothing" that has happened in the lives of the people here in Barranquilla has been from anything I have done. Colombians are the warmest most endearing people I have ever met. To fall in love with them in so very easy. They are so incredibly "ripe" for the harvest. So different from what we experience on a day to day basis in the states. The last few days we have done door to door evangelism in a few of the barriors that are outside of Barranquilla. I am always amazed at the willingness to allow us into their home and they seem so eager just to sit and talk to us. As of yesterday, our team of 51 had shared the gospel with 1687 Colombians and 1027 have come to know Christ as their Savior!! The joy of the Lord that shines from their face is something you cannot deny. God has clearly been our strength and we are experiencing the harvest of others who have planted and watered the seed of salvation. If there is one thing I have walked away with it is the fact that everytime I talk to someone about the saving grace of Jesus I never know how it will take root in their lives. I may never see the result but someone most likely will.
