Watching God Connect The Dots

Guest blogger Jeanette Brannan has a few encouraging words about the mission work going on in Tanzania. Be sure to attend the Tanzania HHF concert on Saturday, June 20th at Powhatan High School, featuring the John Ivins Band, Offering and PCC Band members!

It’s so fun to watch God work His plan and for me to be just a spectator! After all, that is the BEST plan of all, and it seems so easy for Him. That is exactly what is happening with the beginning stage of the 2010 Tanzania Mission Trip! Already 12 people have expressed a serious interest in going, and 8 of them were, I’m convinced, sent directly from God to me without my doing a thing or knowing anything about them!! (I like that kind of leadership!) So far we have two doctors, five nurses, two contractors, and three of us who don’t have any claim to fame but outright passion for serving Him. What He has planned next, I have no idea, but I’m leaving it up to Him since He is doing such a great job!

It’s fascinating to see God connect the dots! Months ago – long before the mission team started forming – we planned the benefit concert on June 20 for the purpose of raising money for the UHAI Medical Clinic. Even before we began to sell tickets to the concert, people came simultaneously from “nowhere” expressing an interest in going on the next mission trip. Most of these people had not, at that time, even heard about the concert! He plants the seed for the concert to benefit the medical clinic and then brings doctors and nurses to go to the clinic!!! Of course, he knows we will need people with other backgrounds and interests, so He brings them too! How awesome is God!

Not everyone is called to go on a mission trip, and if you think that’s you, perhaps you can support the medical aspect of our mission by attending the concert on June 20, at Powhatan High School at 7:00. (If you feel you are called to go on the mission trip, you can also attend the concert!) The money we raise will help to purchase medicine, medical supplies and equipment for the UHAI Medical Clinic.

See you at the concert! And/or see you on the mission field!
