JOHN KALE

Most of you know that I am leaving for Mexico in the morning. I will be in Matamoros, Mexico for a week at AIM's base leading worship for an adult group who is coming down to work in a colonia in Matamoros. I am really excited about the trip, because this is my first mission trip outside of the US. Please keep me in your prayers. I know God is going to do some amazing things on this trip; I just pray I stay in His will and get to be part of the excitement.

I searched all day for a video that summed up my trip. As I was searching, I remembered this old Mark Lowry video. I have chosen it in honor of my travels tomorrow and in hopes that I don't make the same mistake he did.

But I believe there is a deeper meaning to this humorous song. I am getting an amazing opportunity to go to Mexico free of charge, receive a pay check for my efforts, and be "the guy on stage singing". Seems like a pretty "first class" deal if you ask me. Yes I am very blessed. But if I let these luxuries distract me, I will miss out on the Amazing things God has planned for me this week.

Often times, we seek the luxuries of life and forget the One who blessed us with these luxuries. We are flying first class, but heading to the wrong destination.

I pray that this week I make it on the right flight and end up where God wants me both physically and spiritual! And I pray that the same is true for all of us, every day of our lives. I hope you enjoy the video and God Bless!
