Derrick and I were so privileged to spend a couple hours with John and Anita Koeshall, the A/G World Missions Directors for Europe. These guys have been in ministry for... well, 30 years and better, and they truly walk with the Lord. Such beautiful people.We talked about a lot of things but towards the end of our time, the topic turned to our plans for the future: where will go from here and what do we want to do? As usual when I don't know the answers to questions I'm being asked, I just start talking. The more I talked the more I became convinced again that I want to be part of what the Lord is doing on college campuses! At one point, thinking of the darkness I see at SFA, I started crying. Because I respect these people so much, I felt a little silly - maybe childish is the right word... I don't really know. John was talking, but he stopped and looked right at me as I feverishly tried to get control of my emotions and tear ducts... and he said, "I love your tears. Don't be ashamed of them. I have prayed many times that God would make me a man of tears." Wow.
