Highlights of Africa - Part V

On the afternoon of Day One in Sudan, I presented our story to the pastors and evangelists and witnessed a moving response when I tied our story to Isaiah 52:7, “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news.” I asked them to look at their feet, to know that God could use them to spread His Word, and as they looked down at their dirt-covered feet, some with sandals, some without, some with open sores, infections, swelling, and various diseases, I told them God saw those feet as beautiful when they use them to share the Love of Christ and the Hope of eternal Life, just as my own feet were used to travel thousands of miles to get to Sudan, to share my story to encourage them in their faith.

Little did I know, I would soon have my own foot story.
