Navajo Missions

It was great having Ralph and Priscilla Caldwell in our church last night sharing about their ministry to the Navajo Indian tribes in Northern Arizona. They have been taking a group from their church in Fitzgerald for four years now, and have a few people from two or three other churches joining them. One of the things I found most interesting was Priscilla's story about God moving them to Georgia. They used to live in this area and teach in the schools there. They enjoyed it and didn't want to leave. But aging parents needed their attention and forced them to move back to Georgia. So they started planning these trips to go back and do a mission project once a year. Now with more than 20 people going each year, Priscilla says they are accomplishing more good than just the two of them could have living out there all year long.

Isn't that just how God works? It's a beautiful picture of what Paul was talking about in Romans 8:28 when he says that God causes all things to work together for good for those who love him and are called according to his purpose.
