Put Gods Plan In Place

My wife and I spent five years on a missionary team in

Brazil. Our first two years felt fruitless and futile. More of-

ten than not I went home frustrated. We asked God for an-

other plan. We prayed and read the Epistles. We especially

focused on Galatians. When I compared our gospel message

with Paul’s, I saw a difference. His was high-octane good

news. Mine was soured legalism.

As a team we resolved to focus on the gospel. I did my

best to proclaim forgiveness of sins and resurrection from

the dead. We saw an immediate change. We baptized forty

people in twelve months. Quite a few for a church of sixty

members. You see, God wasn’t finished with us yet. We just

needed to put God’s plan in place!

When things aren’t going well, why don’t you ask God for

His plan!
