Today I flew for 9 and 1/2 hours from Dallas to Madrid, Spain. An hour and a half later, I flew to Tangier, where I'm sleeping tonight. Since I've never been to Europe or Africa, I would say that is definitely a big day. Once again, I find myself asking, "What do I have to offer?" I have come to the conclusion that the answer is nothing. However, God has everything to offer through Christ, and I trust Him to work. In fact, we walked from the hotel to the beach and before we got there someone approached us, and the discussion quickly went to Jesus. Mike then began to share Christ with the man. He was very open and had in fact been kicked out of his family for expressing dissatisfaction with Islam. So, Mike shared Jesus with him, and I bought him a phone card. Not sure what's in store for him, but that experience affirmed that God has everything to offer, and He has already prepared hearts for His truth. Reminds of how Philip popped in the picture at just the right time to encounter an Ethiopian trying to read the Bible. Philip didn't have to save the Ethiopian. He just had to help him read. Maybe we can just help them with their counseling skills. God will do the saving.

Honestly, the language barrier which is a constant bouncing back and forth from Arabic, Spanish, and French is petrifying me right now. I'm feel like I'm in over my head on this one, but my hope rests in God.

Anyway, miss my wife and kids, and I desperately need your prayers. Travel went well, and God is good.
