June is here. In the past, June has been a month of adventures for me having had many ministry trips to other countries in June-Romania, France, Mexico and Brazil. Yesterday as I had lunch with my friend Luis from El Salvador and drank my orange juice, I mean orange soda, I thought about my past adventures.

But this year no such adventures are planned for me in June. I feel a tinge of sadness about that. Actually it is almost depressing for me to realize that such trips may be a thing of the past for me. My friend Pastor Alekseyi keeps telling me that he wants to go on a ministry trip to Ukraine with me when the war there ends, if it ever does. But still walking with a cane makes me wonder if that is possible.

I love adventures. Perhaps my next one will be my last one when Jesus take me to heaven. Now that would be the ultimate adventure.

But there is still ministry here in my city. There are still people from many countries here. So perhaps Philippians 1:21-22 applies:

 For to me, to live is Christ and to die is gain. If I am to go on living in the body, this will mean fruitful labor for me. Yet what shall I choose? I do not know! 

Thank you for reading. God Bless.

    Your adventures aren’t over, brother. They’ve just shifted in location. Until heaven, may your fruitful labor here still shine for Christ. Philippians 1:21, Amen …

    1. It has shifted but yes God has work for me

  4. I am sure God will use you right where you are Matt. May you find a lot of Joy and contentment in the way you do ministry in this season of your life.
