3 For by the grace given me I say to every one of you: Do not think of yourself more highly than you ought, but rather think of yourself with sober judgment, in accordance with the faith God has distributed to each of you. 4 For just as each of us has one body with many members, and these members do not all have the same function, 5 so in Christ we, though many, form one body, and each member belongs to all the others. 6 We have different gifts, according to the grace given to each of us. If your gift is prophesying, then prophesy in accordance with your[a] faith; 7 if it is serving, then serve; if it is teaching, then teach; 8 if it is to encourage, then give encouragement; if it is giving, then give generously; if it is to lead,[b] do it diligently; if it is to show mercy, do it cheerfully.
I'm reading through Romans right now, and I came across this verse today. I am continually being challenged to grow in my role here. I'm learning to let go of the control that I think I have! To let the other parts of the body do what they are good at!!! This week I am down in Bongolo with a small team while Hannah and Eric are in Libreville with a team of 12. It is actually a great way for us to start out the summer, me having to trust and let go and them having to take charge! I'm really excited by what God will do in and through each of us!
Please continue to pray for our team...
Dan and Alicia, Hannah, Jean Romain, Eric, Vicki, and me. (Eric & Vicki came out for the summer to lead teams)
