God works from two ends...

In SOS we often talk about the fact that when God wants to get things done, he works from both ends. When God spoke to Moses in the burning bush he already knew what Moses' response would be so he had already nudged his brother Aaron to go meet with him. So when Moses began with his excuses God was not taken by surprise and neither did he have to think on the fly to put a new plan together.

No, he was working both ends at the same time.

As I have been travelling on my recon trips I have seen this to be true time and time again. And here is the most recent example...

Some time ago we asked out East Africa Director Bishop Glorious Shoo to recommend places for future festivals. When we received a list and began to prayerfully review it, one place in particular stood out - Antananarivo, Madagascar. In the fall of 2012 Glorious and I began to plan for a recon trip to this nation. It just happened that the best time for both of our schedules was this current week in Feb 2013.

 What we did not know then was that the Assemblies of God in Madagascar was planning for a seminar in early February. During this conference  God began to really challenge and push them to get back to evangelism in their nation. They all left the conference with a sense of urgency in this matter. At about the same time they get confirmation that a couple of representatives from Mission SOS, an evangelistic ministry, want to come and share about a possible festival in their nation. Can you imagine the joy that erupted after the conference and that our current visit came at the exact right time and became a confirmation of the challenge that God gave them just weeks prior to our arrival.

God is awesome.

Tomorrow Glorious and I will meet leaders from other denominations as well to share the vision with them. They have already been prepped by the AoG leadership and the federation of pastors in Antananarivo seem to all be onboard even before we have met with them.
It is time for Madagascar...

The cry of the lost has been heard and we are responding to their SOS.
