Love from South Africa

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to attend the regional South African staff retreat along with the other staff and interns here in South Africa in addition to WOL staff from Mozambique. What a weekend.  Our speaker was none other than Wendell Calder, evangelist and teacher. Over the course of those few days, Dr. Calder led us through the book of Philippians. This was no coincidence. Over the past month or two, God has kept bringing that book back into my path through devos, sermons, and even my online Liberty classes. Clearly God was trying to get my attention. At the beginning of the weekend, Dr. Calder asked us a question… one that has not escaped my thoughts since the day he asked it. It was this: Have you lost the wonder of it all? Have I lost the wonder of it all? Have I lost the joy of my salvation? The joy of serving? The joy of ministry? The joy of life itself? You may think these sound like silly or irrelevant questions to ask a bunch of missionaries
