Phi 2:13 For it is God which worketh in you both to will and to do of his good pleasure.
Meet Lanny Wake, a Child of God, Teacher, Coach and our dear friend from Cameron, Missouri
Lanny is here along with his daughter Whitney and a young man Andrew. They have been to Galati several years with their local Baptist church on short term mission trips. This is the second year they have come and spent an entire month of their summer vacation "making themselves available to God".
In these photos Lanny is at the Dacia Tennis courts, less than a 5 minute walk from our apartment. Monday through Saturday mornings by 8:00 a.m. you will find him on the court hitting balls or playing tennis with Romanian friends he has developed during the years he has been traveling to Galati. The young man who manages the Dacia Court looks forward to Lanny's arrival, as well as the students of various ages who are anxious to hit the ball with the "American". There is much more to these pictures than just the enjoyment of playing tennis. Lanny uses this opportunity to form relationships and to share his faith in Jesus Christ. Many seeds have been sown on the red clay dirt at the Dacia Tennis Court in Galati, Romania. It will be a glorious day in Heaven when Lanny will see how God watered the seeds he sowed in faith, believing God would make them grow.
You may not be a tennis player. This question is, are you willing to be available to God? Are you willing to be obedient no matter the cost? Jesus Christ was obedient to His Father for our sake.
Are you ready to be obeident?
