Inspiring

As is custom when Swamp Corps goes to a new country for the first time, our closing ceremony finished with a story of the power of dreams and of faith. It's a story about a kingdom in ruin, one without hope or faith, full of sadness and hardship. In the story, an old man on a journey unknowingly comes to the king's castle to ask to stay the night and have a meal. When the old man sees the run down castle and the condition of the kingdom he decides to help by giving the king a magic spyglass that allows you to see "what can be." He gives the king this charge, "You've seen what can be. Now go and make it so." And the kingdom, having been given the gift of hope and of vision and dreams, restores itself and flourishes. I'm on my way home and am feeling incredibly inspired. I'm inspired to go back home and dream for my life and for my campus ministry and God's kingdom. I'm excited to "go and make it so." And I'm incredibly grateful to this trip for that. Thank you all for all your support and prayers. I hope you too are feeling inspired by this trip.
Obrigado (Thanks),
