"Colombia or Bust!"

Jason Priddle

 
 
            It’s crazy and incredible how the Lord has equipped each and every one of us for a specific purpose in the grand scheme of His Kingdom.  Each of us has some uncanny skill, ability, or talent that Christ has specifically given to us to impact our city of Tallahassee and the world for His Glory.  As I reflect, I’m in awe of how Christ has brought me to this point in my life.  Friday I’ll be heading out to a spiritual excursion to Colombia… that’s right Colombia…a country that sadly is only known by most for Pablo Escobar, narco-terrorism, and kidnapping scandals. 
 
It is a beautiful land, with incredible people and an even more spectacular culture.  I was blessed to spend six weeks there last summer, and the Lord’s work for me in Colombia is not finished.  I mentioned before that each of us has specific gifts or talents that Christ intends for us to use in order to grow His kingdom.  For whatever reason, He has enabled me to speak Spanish and gave me little shame on the dance floor.  So this summer I’ll be mixing it up in Cali, Colombia - the Salsa Capital of the World.  I pray that Christ will help me to do it fully, wholly, and exclusively for Him.
 
I’ve also been blessed with the opportunity to minister to fellow university students as well as hip-hop heads in Cartagena on the northern Caribbean coast, along with other unseen adventures that I know the Lord has planned from day one.  I’m completely unworthy, but by the Grace of Christ I’m equipped to be one of His representatives to the Salsa culture of Cali and the kaleidoscope of people that make Colombia such a majestic place.
 
Please pray for me this summer that Christ might be wholly glorified in every thing that comes of my trip. My prayer for each of us at the Well is that Christ would reveal to us all individually the ways in which we are equipped to make an eternal difference for His glory, because each and every one of us absolutely has a purpose in Him for His Kingdom.
           
            “For as we have many members in one body, but all the members do not have one function, so we, being many are one body in Christ, and individually members of one another. Having then gifts differing according to the grace that is given to us, let us use them…”  - Romans 12:4-6
