Faith Walk. Four Days. Limited Money. One backpack. No Destination. As a missionary you experience God and His provision on a daily basis, from food dropping on your doorstep to an encouraging word from a friend, We as Christians tend to use the phrase "God is faithful," in fact my whole blog revolves around the faithfulness of God. Our team decided to step it up a notch and go on a faith building journey, putting ourselves in the most vulnerable and humbling situations that we could, relying solely on God to get us from one place to the next. We started after church, no agenda, just us and God. We were lead to a children's festival where we were able to meet up with two Brazilians I had prayed with the day before. As we sought the Lord we felt that we were to make our way toward Oslo, our main transportation: Hitch Hiking.
Thumbs up, Smiles bright, we waited for a kind stranger to have compassion on us. Minutes then hours went by and we were still in the same place as when we had started. Stomachs rumbling we realized we had to find a source of food. Without thinking I went up to the Mexican food booth at the festival and tried to give the guy a high-five handshake. It started a little awkward as he was wearing a glove and so he hesitantly gave me a backwards high five, but the moment I mentioned we were hitch hikers he stopped us and asked if we needed food, we said yes of course, and he prepared three delicious taco bowls with a coke and water for each of us. We were astounded, thanking God that we had chosen this place, Shout out to
Hermanos Guerrero for some of the best Mexican food we have ever tasted! Off we went, bellies full, walking toward the main highway, praying that God would provide a ride towards Oslo. After two or so hours of waiting we were picked up by a sweet older lady, who thought we were slightly insane, (we agreed), However she was so worried for our safety that she drove us all the way to the airport where we spent our first night.... To be continued tomorrow. Stay Tuned.
