Have you ever thought about doing mission work, either short or long term? Most people have thought about it at least once or twice.
But then what happens? The devil (yes, the devil) starts to flood your mind with all the reasons why you could not or should not do it.
| You are not a trained professional |
| |
Neither were the apostles |
| You don't speak a foreign language |
| |
You can get by here for a while without it |
| You are not sure if you could do it |
| |
Can you talk? Can you smile? Can you serve other people? Can you pray? Can you love people? Can you show them what a healthy marriage looks like?
|
| You are scared of all the risks |
| |
Exciting things happen when you step out of your comfort zone. |
The truth is this . . . YOU CAN DO IT . . . whether it be something short term or whether it be checking out of the ratrace and doing this as your full time calling.
You don't have to be a full-time, trained missionary. You might be a retired person who is not ready to quit living. Just by becoming a part of a community in a foreign country, you can represent Jesus to those people. You will discover endless opportunities for significant ministry. It's not crazy. You can do this.
Quite honestly, we are not your typical religious professionals or "super-Christians", not by a long shot. Don't let the seminary degree fool you. A willing heart is our greatest asset in ministry.
So how about it? Do you feel that tug in your heart? Guess what that is . . . it is the Holy Spirit, your partner and guide, trying to steer you in a new exciting direction.
Don't quench it. Don't ignore it. FOLLOW IT.
The most exciting time of your life lies ahead!!!
