So what does she think? She thinks that she has been given the opportunity of a lifetime, but she thinks it is going to be the hardest thing of her life. It turns out that girl is me. Since reality is real what are we facing? We are facing hundreds of people dying each day without hearing the name of Jesus once. We are facing kids dying from diseases every day with not one word of the Gospel.
Some people are called to go, some send, but everyone is called to do something. I know it's hard to go and to send, but that is called sacrificing. And that's what we need people to do for us: pray and be a sender.

Thea,
ReplyDeleteI like to read the thoughts of missionaries. Thanks for sharing some of your thoughts. I once read of a man by the name of C.T. Studd. He went to China and then on to Africa. Maybe you know about him too. He once said that "some prefer the sound of chapel's bell, but I prefer to run a rescue mission within a yard of Hell." You remind me of this kind of boldness. To go where "kids are dying from diseases every day with not one word of the Gospel."
I am thankful to God for you and your family. I'm thankful to God that I know you.

Dearest Thea... you are a strong girl. You will do wonderful in Africa, because you have a strong family.
ReplyDeletegonna miss your smile every Sunday morning...
Word's can't express my feelings after reading this. What a blessing it is to know and read through your words that your parents are doing a wonderful job bringing you up in a home full of God's love. So happy for all of you and praying everyday for all of the wonderful stories you will all have to share from Africa.
