God Never Ceases to Amaze Me

The other day Pastor Mbasha told me he needed to have a meeting with me. We went to my office and sat down. He took out his Swahili-English dictionary with pages marked so he could easily find certain words. With his limited vocabulary of English words I knew exactly what he was saying.
Pastor Mbasha has two churches in Dodoma that he started. He also has his church in Massai land that he is Pastoring. He used to live in Dodoma so he has a tender place in his heart for the people of that area. Pastor Mbasha wants to hold a crusade in Dodoma. He wants me to do it with him. As he began to tell me that God has a big job for us to do and for me to pray about it and the month to do it I kept thinking, "I'm a school teacher. I came to Africa to start a school. How is it that I am getting involved with a crusade...And involved means one of the speakers!" I told Pastor Mbasha, "I'm a teacher. Not a preacher." He responded, "Me preacher. You teacher...Good team."
I respect Pastor Mbasha. He has become a wonderful friend. If the Lord has spoken to his heart about doing a crusade and he feels like I am supposed to do it with him then I am going to pray about it. I know he hears from the Lord...In these few months I've seen the evidence of the Lord speaking to him.
So here I go...Praying about a crusade that I potentially will be speaking at...This takes me out of my comfort zone. Isn't is amazing...I am at a place of focusing my attention on the Lord for confidence and help to do something that will be a blessing to others. How do these things happen? God never ceases to amaze me. :)
