Well, last night we had Daryl and his wife Kayo at the church for a potluck/fellowship/communion. I was totally blessed to the point of tears while I was listening.
First thing I saw from Daryl was his organization and preparation in his powerpoint, not the powerpoint itself, but what each point was and how to deal with it and how much work went into it. I guess what I am trying to say is, he is well prepared in the administrative aspect. However, we are as well. And I don’t mean that pridefully, but Dave and Shelly are very prepared with the gift of administration and I would like to believe that God has blessed me with it as well.
But, what really brought me to tears is when he went to John 15:13 where Jesus says Greater love has no one than this, that one lay down his life for his friends.” Daryl’s heart for the people of Cambodia is really John 15:13. He really loves them to the point of laying down all of his comforts here in the United States as well as, if need be, to lay down his life in death.
I believe that Dave, Shelly, Kristi and myself have that heart for those in Milano, Italy. Would you please pray that God would give us such a burden for His people in Milano that we would have the heart as Peter and John in Acts 4 where Peter said to the council, “for we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard.
