Summer Short Term Missions change people's lives.--> mine yours and most importantly the people's in the places where we land, so cool. I wonder who is more blessed sometimes

I'm thinking back on lucid memories, water balloon launchers at a Lithuanian orphanage, being taken into family everywhere I've been, a gut wrenching meal called ploff in an old wooden home with funhouse-warped floors, lost in Russian subways, sitting praying on an old castle wall on a hill overlooking the city of Budapest with wonderful Hungarian teens , "issues" with skin heads in Red Square, "kill me NOW" goat tamale poisoning, sharing Jesus with hookers in Hungary and getting the finger for it, volleyball and Jesus with drunk Lithuanians, peeing my pants in a Russia hotel elevator ( big time) ,leading people to Jesus and seeing them come to life, peeing in a Nazi bunker (Tyler) AND peeing in a bunker in Israel and almost peeing on Stalin's tomb ( impulse control won on that one) , showing Jesus' Love to children in the forest (and seeing leeches in the swimming hole), challenging Igor in Tambov to seek the real Jesus and leave his cult, Marat turning from Islam to truth, swimming in water polluted by a dead body, preaching in the supermarket, fellowshipping in the ex-communist youth camp ( and holding breath in the communist non ventilated casa de kaka coming out with near visible fumes ascending from our clothing), leading the old grandma's bible study in a Russian tenement and seeing a woman in her 90's receive Jesus, Lamb cooked over wood coals , preaching in the Polish prison, sleeping on the ground, being followed and hassled by the Russian mafia, sharing Jesus love with the outcast "door man" at the casino, praying for the woman with the brain tumor - then having her dream about my words and later receive Jesus in her sleep, coffee and fellowship with the leader of a Polish Christian motorcycle club, being mocked for my faith, challenged to fight, sneered at, kissed and blessed, being so sleep deprived I fell asleep in my food mid-sentence, handing Bibles to people who cry because they never had one, crazy train rides, insane bus passages, postponed flights, lost baggage , found souls, walking thru ancient walkways, extending an ancient hope.
