Zambia Hunt

Future Thoughts for Phil Hunt:

This has been stated on other occasions, but I would like to go formally on record.  It is my desire to be a servant of Jesus Christ, willing to do whatever He asks of me.  Whether that is sweeping the sidewalk or preaching at a conference, I desire to embrace either with my delight being not in the task performed but in the One who assigns the task.  

I desire to live with the mind of Christ, to follow His example as He “humbled Himself and made Himself of no reputation.”  I battle the old sinful fleshly nature and must “die daily,” putting off the old man and putting on the new.  I need a multitude of counselors.  Those counselors on the field closest to the Zambia college ministry carry great weight with me.  I am also thankful for other godly counselors – my home pastor and the godly men on the board of CABC.

My current role with CABC was not something that I sought after or anticipated.  The burden and responsibility frighten me.  In my own power, I am not up to the task.  This continual realization drives me to the feet of the Master for power, strength, and wisdom.  1 Cor 1.26-29 is talking about me.  He delights in using the foolish, base, weak… that no flesh should glory in His presence.

It is my prayer that God will make me sensitive to Him as I serve in my role as President of CABC.  There will come a day when the College will be better served with someone else as President. Whether that be sooner or later, I am ready and willing to step aside – this ministry is not about Phil Hunt… It is about Jesus Christ and His sovereign purposes being fulfilled.  Men are dispensable… the mission is not.

As I have sat writing to you, the thoughts are flowing faster than my fingers can hit the keys – this is because it flows from my heart.  

May God honor His name and bless His work.  May God lead us.
