Moody, Mafia, & Missions

After 3 weeks Moody can finally walk again. Thank you to all who have been praying for him. His leg has almost totally healed where he was hit by the pick-up. He has really grown in his faith during this time. And he's thrilled to be back at church.

Over the past week he and I have been praying together regarding the opportunity of a lifetime. Tomorrow morning Moody will board an airplane for the 1st time in his life. His destination is Mafia island. He will be flying with Roger, Paul, and a team from the USA that are coming for an extreme missions trip. Over the next 10 days they will be be taking the message of Christ into what has to be one of the darkest corners of East Africa.

Moody is so excited he can hardly contain himself. When I told him that he would be going on his first ever missions trip on an airplane he came unglued. He shook his head, laughed, and began to rejoice for at least 5 minutes. When he finally regained composure, all he could say was: "now the pain from my accident has finally disappeared". Well said.

Being a MBB from a part of Tanzania that is similar to Mafia he is very excited for the opportunity to share his testimony there. I personally believe this is just the beginning of some incredible Kingdom stories that will develop as God uses Moody's life and story to touch many Muslims.

Please pray for this team. Mafia is not an easy place. They need protection, favor, wisdom, courage, clarity of presentation, & a raw display of the power of God!
