As September begins to fade and October begins to be seen upon the horizon fall also teases and brings memories of its beauty. Such shifting of seasons reminds me of the whisper of the Spirit, the great mysteries that the Creator longs to paint as beautiful and bold as the colors upon the fall leaves. There is great anticipation here amongst the staff of School to the Nations both for the tangible beauty of fall, and the slightly more abstract beauty of the coming season within our souls and the coming revelations of his heart for the great multitude around his thrown from every nation, tribe, people and language (Rev. 7:9).
So just as fall teases creating longing and hope for the crisp, cool mornings, that may, so appropriately, be filled with the great gift of good coffee, so also does my God tease... creating a great craving within our souls for the next glory promised. He is good to teach me that the hope manifested should indeed leave us very confidently expecting. We serve a faithful God! I’ve heard him say that there is beauty in the transition, in the waiting; that we are to live today for the beauty of today lest we miss the whole of his goodness, grace, and glory.
"Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom
and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable his judgments,
and his paths beyond tracing out!"
Romans 11:33
I am excited to announce that the Prayer Trail is finally complete. There are 13 different posts positioned around the camp on a trail that is almost a mile long. These posts have specific prayer points for unreached peoples around the world. We are excited to be able to share of Christ's love for the nations but even more excited to provide opportunities for people to hear of Christ's heart for the nations from God himself. Visit our blog soon and often for you will get a chance to hear of the 13 different prayer spots over the next few weeks and a chance to pray yourself. Or always know you're welcome to come and take the trek yourself.
Surely you will summon nations you know not, and nations you do not know will come running to you, because of the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, for he has endowed you with splendor.”
Isaiah 55:5
