God is BIG all the time, and all the time God is BIG!

Friday – the end of the week and beginning of a weekend for most everyone.

In the case of the Crosswave and Arrows TEAM ministering in Peru, it is the start of something BIG! Why do I say BIG? Because God is in it and He does things up bigger and better than we could imagine.

He has already shown us a little of His "BIGness".

- The Arrows TEAM, from Indiana, flew through Atlanta last night and had to change planes. Their flight was delayed due weather. Within 5 minutes of their departure, all other flights were cancelled. That’s a BIG God taking care of His ambassadors!

- The energy and excitement of the TEAM members is BIG, as they join in worship and ministry with a purpose! I mean, BIG worship, a swelling of praise in music and prayers, I witnessed today. And this is before the team even hits the streets with their dramas introducing Jesus to the community. Can’t wait to hear what He does in the next few days.

- The generous donations by families and friends in the states were unpacked today and it was BIG. I mean BIG! After lugging the baggage around, we could not only see how big it was but we could feel how big.  About 45,50 lb suitcases, and approximately 25 duffle bags were provided by BIG hearts, which will result in BIG smiles and appreciation by many Peruvians.

- Pray for Carla Dennis, please. She took a BIG fall down a flight of steps today. Don’t panic. She’s doing fine. Why? Because we have a BIG Father who protected her from serious harm.

- The Women’s Workshop and Conference tonight had a BIG response to the stories, testimonies, skit and drama the TEAM members shared. What a fabulous night to be able to pray with dozens of women and see God move in the lives of those in attendance.

What will be next? We don’t know. But as I watched and listened to the TEAM members in prayer groups this afternoon, I have confidence they are looking to Him for guidance as they step out in faith to share with the Peruvians that Jesus is the only way, the truth and the life. No man cometh to the Father but by Him. We have hope in Jesus and that is the message they have come to share.

God is BIG all the time, and all the time God is BIG!
