God's provisions for equipping, here at CIT; first class completed today. What an awesome 5 weeks it has been. Meeting new brothers and sisters in Christ that are going all over the world that have said to God "send me I will go"
Being stretched. Learning that I will be a learner a 150% person: What is a 150% person?
The example set by Christ; who, "being in very nature God," did not cling to that identity but instead became not only a Jew but also a servant among Jews (Phil 2:6-7) We must love the poeple to whom we minister so much that we are willing to enter their culture as children, to learn how to speak as they speak, play as they play, eat what they eat, sleep where they sleep, study what they study, and thus earn their repect and adminration. In essence, we must leave our prison, enter their prison, and become full participants within it. (From Ministering Cross-Culturally S. Lingenfelter & M. Mayers)
Who am I "I am a CHILD of the KING
Have you ever looked at the heart of an Orphan:
I am alone, unwanted
It's all up to me (other's don't care)
I am responsible for life
I must earn acceptance
I need to create order for safety
I have a question for you.
What would be missing in your relationship with God if He was just your Savior, but not your Father?
I have the weekend off, what will I do, update my blog, catch up on sleep, answer emails, and prepare for Monday morning. Language Acquisition. (How do I learn a language?)
God has equipped CIT to prepare people for the call to Cross Cultural Ministry. The work load is heavy, reflection and processing, study, spending time in God's Word, searching out scripture, memorizing scripture, there is no better way to spend time than going deeper and deeper with the Lord and His Word. CIT is Scripture based with Godly men and women who have been where you are going. God has equipped them so that they can equip us. God is the head and the very core of CIT.

ALL FOR HIS GLORY
