If God wanted you to...

[ydouxist]

Go to the ends of the earth what would you say?
Have you ever asked Him or felt like He was calling you to missions?
It took me 6 years to give Him an honest answer, I was wondering if anyone else ever had to do the same.

When I was 17 I felt called to do inner city missions, God has given me a very specific plan I believe. I've just done some things to screw it up, but I know that God will lead me to where He wants me to be. It's hard to explain to friends and family that I won't ever make as much money as they do-they really worry about me. I've already got some student loans I need to pay off. I've got all sorts of other excuses why I can't do missions just now. But, it's either keep making excuses or honor God and do what he is asking. It's a tough thing to do, but I believe if I do it God will really bless my life. And I don't mean with material wealth. If you believe God is calling you to missions, go with it. He will lead you every step of the way.

Sometimes God also calls us to stay put while someone else goes to the ends of the earth. I was enrolled in seminary and absolutely certain in my own mind I was to become a pastor. I ended up a farmer. There are many twists in the path sometimes- like Moses' 80-year detour before leading his people out of Egypt. A person just has to sit still from time to time and really listen. Our own plans sometimes get in the way. I wanted to be "greater" than I am, but this is how it panned out... . "Be still and know that I am God," Pss. 46:10.

i've prayed about missionary work. the answer i get is always the same: i'm called to be a "missionary" right here where i am.

maybe someday, though.. only God knows!

At the moment I'm feeling really called by God to go into inner-city missionary, and work with kids, but I've no idea where to start, what organisation to contact, so I figure when the times right God will show me exactly where I should be...and I hope my faith is strong enough to just up and go
