About visions… missions… and resting in between…
We have entered into the seventies… Apparently we have retired again. But this is only a resting time in between…
A new vision is looming over the horizon… A vision given to Gary Adams, a dear missionary, pastor and friend! It is just a matter of knowing when the time to start walking again will come… We are sure the trumpet will resound again!
He saw a vast, hot and dusty plain and a mountain range far away with a rank of newly drafted young soldiers marching on Their uniforms were crisp and clean, Their weapons clean and shiny, But no ranking officers on sight. A veteran! His weapon obviously battle tested A veteran! His weapon obviously battle tested
His appearance began to change. His uniform became crisp and clean; he no longer limped, but rather had a spring in his step… His face was now clean shaven, expectancy reflected in his countenance while the soldiers watched solemnly but respectfully as he marched onward.
Suddenly, his rank could be seen A General! Moving to the front of the ranks (his rightful place) and leading those troops from that time on.
Then… many other “ranking officers” moved out from the rear and began to follow him experiencing the same transformation as the General had. Each received a new commission and was placed strategically among the troops.
And in agreement with Gary´s vision as many others I am sure, we say Apparently we have retired again… But it is only a resting time in between…
