Aim Higher

We had a lesson at INFOP entitled, "Aim Higher," and it used a blowgun as an analogy, or object lesson.  This works well because when using a blowgun a target is needed and to hit the target it is necessary to actually aim a little higher.  The further away from the target you stand the higher you need to aim.

We talked about setting goals for life and the most important goal is knowing God.  In seeking God we need to lift our eyes up and aim higher!

The Scripture we started with was Psalm 121:1-2:

I lift up my eyes to the hills.

    From where does my help come?

2 My help comes from the Lord,

    who made heaven and earth.

The lesson was with thirty some youth at the agricultural school.  The idea of the school is to prepare them to go out and work in agriculture, either for a big ag company or on their own, but to my surprise none of the students had actual goals or dreams or visions for what they would do what they were learning.

So, talking about setting goals was extremely important for them.  Talking about the importance of knowing God and surrendering their life to Him was most important.  Making darts and using the blowguns on targets and balloons was perfect fun for a bunch of teens!

We are so thankful for the opportunity we have to be here and invest in these lives.  We are thankful to the Lord and to each one of you who are praying and supporting us financially!  We work as a team together and it is all for the glory of God!!
