Thinking back to the sixth grade, I remember one event that stood out to me more than anything else that year. This was the year that God had placed the mission field on my heart, for the first time in my life I knew what I wanted to do when I grew up. I remember that bright summer afternoon when I was driving back from Beverly hills with my Dad telling him of my new desire and prayer to one day be a missionary. The response I got was one that has struck in my memory, he said if you so desire to serve on the field are you so willing to never see your mother and I again, are you ready to live a life of hard work and sorrow with few moments of great blessing in seeing the souls of men turn and repent, are you willing to die in the country for Christ? The final question was are you ready to serve in the deepest humility? For me at this age I remember thinking this is a lot to consider however I am most willing for I feel and am convinced that God has called me.
Today friends I would still say that, yet I would add somethings to it. Lord send me anywhere here or halfway a crossed the world just go with me. For now I would say that one day by God's grace may I buried my heart in whatever country He has called me to!!!
