That they may see!

I am sitting here at 12:36 am Friday night, hours before our trip and ponder the many things that God might do while we are there. I can't help but to think of Romans 15 and to reflect upon the passion that Paul had for the many who needed to hear. Listen to what he says.
"May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit." Lord may we overflow with hope for your children by the power of your Holy Spirit. "I myself am convinced, my brothers, that you yourselves are full of goodness, complete in knowledge and competent to instruct one another. I have written you quite boldly on some points, as if to remind you of them again, because of the grace God gave me to be a minister of Christ Jesus to the Gentiles with the priestly duty of proclaiming the gospel of God, so that the Gentiles might become an offering acceptable to God, sanctified by the Holy Spirit.
Therefore I glory in Christ Jesus in my service to God. I will not venture to speak of anything except what Christ has accomplished through me in leading the Gentiles to obey God by what I have said and done— by the power of signs and miracles, through the power of the Spirit. So from Jerusalem all the way around to Illyricum, I have fully proclaimed the gospel of Christ. It has always been my ambition to preach the gospel where Christ was not known, so that I would not be building on someone else's foundation. Rather, as it is written:
"Those who were not told about him will see,and those who have not heard will understand.""
May we be as bold as Paul and may the Lord go before us and prepare the people. May they have dreams and visions and await our arrival. May the light shatter the darkness that has been surrounding these people. Continue to pray for the people that we may engage. For His love to be given and His gospel to be spread.
