Like how Shannon went on Christmas Day to pray for a sick boy in a nearby village. And how his mother found Shannon in an area very far away just the other day and shared with him that the boy got better the next day. And how ever since then she has believed what Shannon says and now she comes to hear him share God's Word in this far away area.
Like how one of the four leaders named Joseph (that Shannon is discipling) had 300 cattle stolen from him and his family the other night by men from the Boya tribe. And how one of his friends was killed and the other was stabbed and sent to the hospital in Kapoeta. Like how cattle are the very most important things to a Toposa man, and yet Joseph decided that that problem, and even visiting his hurt friend, could wait. Like how Joseph made the choice to put sharing God's Word to a new area God has put on his heart before cattle.
Like how the women from a village in Cumakori heard the second story about HIV/AIDS today and understood it. And how they made the connections between cattle camps and our bodies, the men watching the cattle and our immune system, the man-eating lion and HIV, and the other wild animals and other diseases. And how then they remembered all the details of the first HIV/AIDS story we told last week and pieced together the two stories all on their own.
It's the things that seem so small to us that are in actuality, so BIG.
And that's because God is behind each one.
