Well of Grace, by Aaron Hershberger
November 9, 2014
Aaron Hershberger
Have you ever felt like every decision you make the Lord completely agrees with? Or maybe the opposite? I find it amazing how the Lord leads and directs us with such a high level of patience and grace. While we all operate under God’s grace, wouldn’t it be amazing if we could tap in to a deeper well of grace and keep a steady flow going?
While in Nicaragua, our US Team – (Scott McClelland, Yuri Nosenko, Greg Milsaps, Luke Anspach, and myself) found ourselves, together with our Nica team – (Ixil Borter Torrez, Jairo Miranda, Pablo Altamirano, Earl Rutledge, and others I am probably missing) being caught up in this flow of grace and it was awesome!
Greg Millsaps' Take On Nica2014
For me, this past trip to Nicaragua was like seeing a missing puzzle piece falling into place. Nicaragua is a country to which I have deep commitments and, more importantly, a deep love. I lived and served there from 2003-2006 and have returned several times since to visit and re-connect. But no return visit has been as meaningful as this past trip has been.
Nicaragua is a unique country in the family of nations. It is my firm belief that God has a unique calling for this nation – a Great Commission calling which is only now beginning to be realized by its young leaders. As such, it is an honor and a privilege to have a part in the mentoring and discipleship of many young Nicaraguan leaders. This was the purpose of the trip – to continue to invest in Great Commission disciple-making relationships with passionate and capable young leaders.
