Man, there sure is a lot to say, but not much time to say it. The “Kingdom of God” has always been my where my thoughts lay, my heart dances, and where my God’s words end up in my mouth. These couple of days, God has been showing me how to use my talents, gifts, attitude, time and words to further the Kingdom in any way I can.Training here in Georgia is so fun. Trying new foods, learning a whole lot about our relationships with each other, our leaders, and our great and wonderful God. Pulling into AIM on the bus was so comforting because it was out in the stix….out in the middle of nowhere. This place is a field out in the woods, and just looking at it gives me peace. Training hasn’t been everything I expected, actually, we just had a sermon on our “self-centered expectations”… oops…. haha! Me and my team were so ready to get to where we’re going, but I’ve found that we’re just excited to see God move right here in the lives of leaders and followers, givers and takers, prayer warriors and some crazy worshipers. I’m so excited to be working hard for the Lord beside these people. I’m ready for Kenya and to work hard to give glory to my KING! I’m sellin all I got to gain this treasure in a field. Matthew 13:44
My Aubrey, I love you and miss you and I am prayin for ya. Ma and Pa, thanks for all your support. Granith and Auntith, ya’ll mean so much to me. All my family out in Cali, wish I could’ve been there in July. I love ya’ll. To all my friends, hope your summer turns out as good as mine.
Grace and peace,
Jake Smith
