10 planes in 10 days! The musicianary..
A few months ago, I planned one of my trips to the US which is mostly a glorified means of networking with the industry and like minded independent musicians, singers, worship leaders like me. The conference I eventually settled on was planned for June, which meant top dollar for air flights. So I looked for good deals, but ended up with double stop over flights to Nashville. So that was Amsterdam - London - Chicago - Nashville And return Nashville-Miami- London- Amsterdam. That was already 6 flights! Then pastor Fidelis, a friend of mine in Toronto, Canada invites me to carry out a praise and worship workshop and concert for him , and send a ticket with stop overs . Nashville- Washington- Toronto and return Toronto - Atlanta - Nashville. So in total 8 cities, 4 countries, 10 flights in 10 days (between 22 June and 1 July). I thank God though for the opportunity to go out and be a witness with his gifts to me, for his protection through all potential dangers, going in and out of immigrations of 4 countries, and all the new people I met with was blessed by and could be a blessing to. It's tiring but worth it. Jesus had to die for us and shed blood, what is a bit of flying! We are commanded to go into all the world and preach the good news. I can testify that God has given me the opportunity to. On the way out, I met a man who sat next to me and apparently was a musician, and after talking, it got personally and I ended up giving marital counseling and advice to (on his request). On the way back, was teaching a lady that was coming to the Netherlands for 5 days and wanted to learn a few words of Dutch. In Toronto, worked with a praise team and as they ministered, had people filming and taking photos as the people saw a renewed team and we praise for an enduring improvement. And what move of the Spirit we had at the Praise night /concert where people even got healed.
