The RICHES of my time at The Center for Intercultural Training

Oh, it isn’t Rich because of the surroundings—in fact the place is a group of red brick buildings set in the center of what is left of a little town, lots of cemeteries and churches and trees.

But RICH it is to me; for my time here has included building RELATIONSHIPS with others who are called to a foreign land; who have stories to bless our hearts and like me, need only a little more support to go.

It has been a time to REFLECT on God’s call, His Sonship and how to live out the Gospel in the lives of others-here or there.

There has been some dross to REMOVE as I, like others, have endured some heat in order to understand what suffering can mean for us who desire to be conformed to His will.

I have been REMINDED that I am not an orphan, but a beloved child of God with all the riches found in Jesus as His child.

The power of the RESURRECTION is ours. Do you realize what that means? Wow, He doesn’t need anything from me to accomplish His will here on earth. I want to experience that power!

It has been a time of REST as I’ve enjoyed Him and others and the quiet surroundings.

REFILLING has been the RESULT as I take the next step in going where He is leading.
Delighting in Him,
Mickey
