The Lyons family - faithfulness

Recently through facebook I re-connected with Teresa and Philip Lyons. I went to high school with Philip. Grew to love his family, because they showed love to me. This was my first introduction to Jesus. Didn't hear of Jesus before then (isnt that crazy?!). The two married sometime during his college/seminary years and went to the mission field of West Africa and grew in family and in the Lord.
So much time has passed. 15 years? More? Their young boy Zac, is in college! So whats my point? Guess where they are and guess wha they are doing? In West Africa ( Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso) still serving the Lord.
I'm near tears as I reflect on the huge amount of time that has passed. How many lives has God touched through them? Their faithfulness to their mission is what touches me. Remember when you struggled at the point of surrender? (I just don't want God to send me to Africa!) [maybe a bad example here] Afraid of what it was He'd want from you?
How have you shown God faithfulness in the last week? Month? Year?
Don't give up or grow weary in well-doing. Haven't done such a great job? Ask God to ignite your heart for those around you. You don't have to be in West Africa to be serving. God has you where you are for a purpose. Be faithful in Ed White High School. Be faithful @ Baldwin, Trinity, Stillwell. Be found true where ever you are.....and parents..be faithful to your ministry with, in front of and around your kids. It'll make a HUGE impact!
