This Sunday we put a spotlight on Missions. After interviewing a new missionary who has changed careers to follow God’s call on he and his family’s life, I commented that it is my prayer that some from our own church would be called to the field.
Even while I was stating it this stupid little voice was in my head saying, “it won’t happen, this region has too strong family ties to let their family members go overseas.” While the family ties are strong, I do believe that God has a stronger call and, while people may struggle with letting family members go, I do believe that there are families who will actually celebrate should God place a missionary call on the lives of their children!
Here’s to those who will find themselves living the adventurous life of a missionary!
