I was talking with Dave the other day and we were talking about DNA and church planting and all sorts of stuff. Some really cool answered prayers were revealed while we were talking.
Allow me to share...
In 1998 The Lord called Dave and Janie Beales to church plant in Colchester. The vision of DNA Networks was realized. They prayed for laborers to come.
In 1998 I went on a mission trip to the Bahamas. I heard the Lord whisper to me to do overseas missions. I knew what the Lord wanted by I rejected the idea and put it away.
In the summer of 2001 Jon Shuler, friend of the Beales from the USA and at the time worked for NAMB (North Anglican Mission Board), partnered with them and prayed for field missionaries to come and help in church planting in Colchester.
In the summer of 2001 while in Germany, my heart changed and I accepted the Lord's calling for me to do overseas missions.
Is this a coincidence?
I think not.
How cool to see that the Lord's plan for me to be in England has been in motion long before I ever realized this is where I would be.
Remember that the Lord is going before you and He is going after you. He's got a plan for you, way before you'll ever see it.
"For I know the plans I have for you", declares the Lord. "Plans to prosper you and not to harm you. Plans to give you a hope and a future." -Jeremiah 29:11
