Why Change?

Seasoned Believers are people of courage.

It takes courage to grow up and turn out to be who you really are.
E. E. Cummings

Who would you nominate as a Seasoned Believer? Can you think of a person who has faced his or her issues and allowed the Lord to take them through them?

Dan Gilliam, a man from my past who has faced the darkness and let God bring the light into his life. Take a look at http://www.dangilliam.net/

I just heard from Galina whose team grew a lot on the trip to Abakan. Galina became very ill with the flu and the team had to do everything without depending on her as a leader. Necessity is the mother of invention so God Galina's sickness to stretch the team into real leadership.

Because of Communism the people of Russia who traditionally had been very tough became like little, weak lambs. One of our biggest challenges in Russia is to convince the people they can be used by the Holy Spirit to teach, care, counsel and lead.

The team without Galina rose to the occasion and did very well. The success in Abakan gave them a big boost in confidence because they faced their fears and found God faithful.

Yerina, Yvgenia, Marina, Anatoly and the team are my nominees for Seasoned Servants.
