Doing the right thing…quietly

I work among remarkable people.

They immerse themselves in "doing the right thing" and they do it quietly.

We are going to launch our 100,000th go-er this summer and yet Adventures in Missions is not on more folks' radar.

Instead of talking about doing good, they've quietly been DO-ing good/serving for 23-ish years.

That's pretty remarkable – especially in this age of shameless self-promotion.

Each workday, I get to think and create and discover among people who get things done.

Imperfectly.  Earnestly.  Honestly.

Yep – Adventures' teams really do feed thousands of kids each day in Swaziland.

And Adventures is one of the first on the ground and last to leave in a disaster zone.

We've got teams where it is perpetually hot, often cold and snowy; where we stand out and where we blend in.  

Hands are held, dying people embraced, songs sung, dances danced, worship raised, children rescued, orphans taught, ancient herding communities visited along distant ancient silken roads, tasks accomplished, and life offered.

Done with out fanfare: amazing…and truly humbling.  

I've got to up my game…or better:  less of me and more of the authentic God that I cannot see.

Come by if you'd like.  We are tucked into the hills of North Georgia.  Check out the blogs of other goers here, http://www.adventures.org/mosaic/ and http://www.adventures.org/mosaic/?prg=worldrace (these are two good places to start.)  

The kayaks at the LakeHouse are always there for a spin and the hills are in walking distance.

Adventures in Missions is non-denominational and seeks out the poorest and the most forgotten to offer lift & life.
