Some Direction

So I have never be a big fan of theme verses. People want a verse to go with everything, their wedding, their mission trips, their ride to work. Do not get me wrong there, I respect that people like to do things based on scripture and follow through with it but sometimes it seems that they find a random verse to legitimatize what they are doing. Well anyway I never even thought about having a theme verse for the trip, but then all the sudden in my quiet time God showed me Micah 3:8. I won't call it my theme verse, but it definitely will give me some direction and some confidence that I am going to these cities to do His will and to bring truth to the cities.

But as for me, I am filled with power, with the Spirit of the Lord, and with justice and might, to declare to Jacob his transgression, to Israel his sin. Micah 3:8

Here's the DL

So this next school year I'm planning on going on my bike to different cities around the U.S., taking no money or phone, and completely relying on God for his provision. I will be doing ministry in the cities, I'm not exact on what it will be yet but that might be a city to city thing. I'm hoping to get a partner for the trip since Paul always went out with a partner and Jesus sent the disciples out in pairs. I have a friend praying about it right now and seeking God to see if he is supposed to do this also. Some things to be praying for:
  • Direction for my friend. For God to show him what he needs to be doing.
  • Clarification of what to take with me. And who I will be ministering to (college, homeless, gangs)
  • Preparation mentally, physically, and mostly spiritually.
  • That God gives my family peace about it.
