till the whole world hears

I pray that I never lose that burn, the ache in my heart to go. I know this ache isn't manufactured because it is not consistent with what I would normally want. That is to say, I have always wished to live in the same place forever and have very little adventure. I know from experience that missions is nothing like that. It’s moving to a new place all the time, its falling in love with people and places and saying goodbye. But there are sooo many people who have NEVER heard about Jesus. I mean in the States you would have to look long and hard to find anyone I don't know if I could find anyone who had NEVER heard. But there are entire people groups who have never heard. I very much want to be a part in bringing them the good news of the gospel. I only wish I could go sooner!


I am committing myself to pray for missionaries so that I will still be involved. I have been so challenged lately about how much I pray for missions. Perhaps I feel like I'm on the outs and thus I don't try as hard. I really can't say, but I know God is put it on my heart to really fall on my face and pray for those people that are out there now on the field, and for the people they are trying to reach. Everyone can do something, and everyone can do it now. I really believe that. Now you can't go to the field right away, if I could I'd be there. My dear beloved Otis Goodwin used to say it this way "not everyone is called to go, but everyone should struggle with the idea that they might be called to go." We were all given the same commission, let’s get it going people this is exciting!
