Dreaming The Impossible - UK Mission Trip
By Anne Benavidez
Two years ago the Lord spoke to me regarding being faithful with the impossible while I was doing my personal devotion. I was reading the account of Gideon when the Lord asked me this question, “If I will tell you to bring youth leaders to nations for a mission trip such as United Kingdom UK
Blackaby said and I quote, “When God gives an assignment, it is no longer impossibility, but rather it is an absolute certainty. When God gives you a seemingly impossible task, the only thing preventing it from coming to pass is your disobedience. When God speaks, it can scare you to death! He will lead you to do things that are absolutely impossible in your own strength. But God will grant you victory, step by step, as you obey Him. How do you respond to assignments that seem impossible? Do you write them off as unattainable? Or do you immediately adjust your life to God’s revelation, watching with anticipation to see how He will accomplish His purposes through your obedience? God wants to do the impossible through your life. All He requires is your obedience.”
These words I believe were God’s answer to my queries. It was as if God was directly speaking to me through the words of Blackaby. I know for sure, it was God speaking to me! Since that time I became excited on how God will open the way for us to have a mission trip toUK Canada
It was last year when the Lord finally opened that door. After a group of young people fromLuton , England visited our church (JKKCC) for a 10 day mission trip, the team leader and I agreed to have an exchange program with their church (Stopsley Baptist Church United Kingdom
Right now a group of young people from our church (8 of them) are undergoing screening and training in preparation for the upcoming mission trip toUK
As the team leader, I feel that this is a big and an impossible task. I would admit that none of us are capable to produce the huge amount we need for this mission trip. On our own we cannot do it, but just as the Lord has encouraged me two years ago, through the words of Blackaby, this seemingly impossible task becomes an absolute certainty because it was God who gave us this assignment. The only thing that we need to do is to obey Him and the rest will be His doing. If God wants to do the impossible through our lives then so be it. For the praise of His glory, JKKCC (Jesus King ofKings Community Church
