"What is more I consider everything a loss compared to the surpassing greatness of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord, for whose sake I have lost all things. I consider them rubbish that I may gain Christ..." Philippians 3:8

 

We have 20 days until we are home. As I evaluate my time here in Africa this verse stands out. I can do all sorts of ministry, work with the poor, play with children, work until I am exhausted but compared to time with the Lord it is rubbish. The only thing that matters from my time here in Africa, from my time on this earth, is knowing Christ. What did I do in Africa? A lot of rubbish but I also got the honor of getting closer to the heart of the Father.
