When people come together, things
happen. When God brings people together lives
change.
I can only write this from my
perspective. Therefore it is my testimonial as
to how I came to be part of the Ozark Christian
College "Paul's Journeys" tour. A trip that
would take two weeks, span two continents, three
countries, and include more stops than seemed
possible when reading the itinerary.
I first heard about the trip from
Mark Moore while standing under a tree, on a
mountain side at NYR (Nationwide Youth Roundup) in
Colorado, as I eves dropped on a conversation
he was having with someone else. Originally I
had a question for him after attending the first
adult class on I Peter that he was teaching. I
no longer know what that question was ... it went
right out of my head as I heard God say ... "You are
going." It truly was one of those heavenly "Ahhhhhhhhh"
moments. And even though, at that time, I
really did not know just "where" I was going ... I
knew, I would be on that trip.
There are 35 other reasons as to
why this group came together. It was put
together by Mark M. and he is by and large the
reason several were on the trip. He is an
awesome speaker and passionate teacher for the Lord.
His students know for a fact that it takes 2 days
just to get past the title of the book of "Acts."
Mark Scott is also just as
accomplished as a speaker and teacher and greatly
appreciated by those who have heard him and attended
his classes. He provided a daily devotion
during this trip that enhanced our site experiences
no end.
I will never read the experiences
of Paul in the same way I did before. When you
can actually walk the streets where Paul and other
Apostles walked, the Bible just speaks in a
different way. I've heard other people say
that, and you really can't know that, until you
experience it.
Love you much,
Linda
