A Collection of Stories From The Heart Of A Missionary
AUTHOR DAN HENNENFENT “Dad, just stay very aware of who you meet on the new flight.” Those were words of wisdom from my son Luke moments after I cancelled our Tuesday flight and re-booked another for Wednesday. UPS has been playing ping pong with the passport and Bolivian visa of my traveling partner and CCWM Secretary, Glenn Harms. So is God’s hand in this circumstance? I feel something like Gideon when God whittled his army from 32,000 down to 300. (Judges 7:1-6) Originally there were four people from the CCWM board on the team going to Bolivia to help celebrate the 30th Anniversary of the Life and Truth school. Then the first one dropped, then the second one. With only Glenn and I left, the passport situation became more grave as it’s 10 day journey wore on. They believe that it has two bar codes on it, so the automatic sorters send it back and forth with no human intervention. Convinced that I could pick it up at a regional UPC sorting center this morning (Wednesday) for the flight this afternoon, I was looking forward to the overnight flight with Glenn to LaPaz, Bolivia. Who will we meet? What will be the ‘good’ for being delayed by one day? But like Gideon, my team has been whittled once again. The passport is still missing and I’m traveling alone today. Staying very aware of whom I might meet on this solo flight. The mind of man plans his way, but the Lord directs his steps. Proverbs 16:9
