As a kid, I was terrified I was going to be asked by God to go to......a particular country. =) It is a country with a culture so completely different from my own, that I was sure it would just be terrrrrriiibbbllllleeee!!!!! I was quite paranoid about it.
As a direct result of where I went to college, I eventually came to view foreign missions and the people who serve as some of the most interesting, exciting acquaintances one could ever make. This week has reminded me of this fact once again.
If you want adventure, listen to a missionary. If you want your faith to be proven and increased, hang out with a missionary. The stories could go on all night!
This week, I have introduced my students to Touching Lives for Christ. This organization gives these kids a chance to go for a short-term missions trip during the summer for 2-4 weeks. It was so fun to tell them all about the trips available and see the excitement grow. Of course, they will see their first missionary miracle if they can raise the funds to go on one of these trips....but that's a good thing.
Maybe...just maybe, they will come to see missions as I do. =)
