My time Stateside has been tremendous! I’m so thankful for the fantastic people in my life, and it’s been really great seeing everyone. The last stop of this trip has been in Oregon where we have so many wonderful friends, and I’ve also enjoyed spending time with my mom and my siblings. I see the work of God everywhere I go, and I know the future is bright for us as we continue to walk with Jesus.
As I’ve ministered to some of our partner churches, the Lord has led me to emphasize some key points. The theme has been, “The Price of the Flame”, which involves the price Jesus paid and the price we must pay in order to stay on fire for God. Three key’s for staying on fire include walking in humility, integrity, and love. Keeping our lives on track in those areas is part of the price we must pay so that we’ll continue to burn for Jesus; it’s the price of the flame.
As I’ve traveled I’ve also been distributing our annual “Harvest Report”. For those of you who didn’t get a copy, it is available online. You can find it by clicking on this LINK.
I start my way back to India on Thursday morning, and after about two days of travel I’ll be home. Thanks in advance for your prayers as I travel. As you can imagine, after nearly 4 weeks away, it’s going to be great to be back with my family.
Thanks for everything!
With Love,
Mike Van Buskirk
