"Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the LORD GOD is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.  With joy you will draw water from the wells of salvation.  And you will say in that day: Give thanks to the LORD, call upon his name, make known his deeds among the peoples, proclaim that his name is exalted.  Sing praises to the LORD, for he has done gloriously; let this be made known in all the earth."           

~Isaiah 12:2-5

I often get asked why I have decided to go to Africa for nine months.  Sometimes it is hard for me to explain why other than the simple fact that God has called me to go.  That is why I love these verses in Isaiah.  These three verses explain very clearly why I am going to live in Africa, to bring glory to God and make his name known in another country!
