I had my first Perspectives class just recently and throughout the teaching and the homework the Lord has really opened my eyes to see how narrow my worldview is. God is the God of purpose, and as his creation our ultimate purpose is to glorify God. The next purpose is for all the nations of the earth to be blessed. God is a missional God who desires to see the nations blessed. Throughout the reading for the class the text has looked primarily at the Old Testament to see how Abraham was first given God’s purpose and promise. I am loving this Perspectives class, even though the reading is challenging the Lord is highlighting specific principles to my mind as I read and process the material. GBC has started with this first class, but my first full day will be on this Tuesday! I am so excited and expectant for all the Lord will do. You could pray for me specifically that someone would open their home to me to stay in either as a roommate or host home, as well as the remaining $2,000 for the trip fee. Thank You for your prayers!
