Abi loves going outdoors. Lately, our walks have been a reminder of changes the Lord is doing. We walk past trees with hundreds of colors revealed in the leaves, while only a few weeks ago, there would have been nothing but green.
Over the past few months, I have had the privilege of seeing a lot of changes in the lives of the students involved in YMI (Youthfront Mission Institute). One of my favorite times happened around the dinner table last week. Someone began, “I know this might not be the best time, but I don’t know what to do.” This student began to share about a sensitive situation in which he was looking for advice from the YMI family.
It was amazing to see how the other students responded. They began to open up about their own experiences and describe how the Lord was transforming them more into His likeness through these difficult trials.
I have also enjoyed watching mental light bulbs turn on in our evening discussions when we discuss topics they are learning about for the first time.
As we enter the last part of the program, I am so excited to observe the changes that will occur when the students immerse themselves in a new culture and live out the things they have been learning for the past several weeks.
I know that the Lord will be faithful to transform their lives to radiate His glory to the watching world.
