How about Have Mission Will Travel. This could maybe be the title of the website rather than the or
ganization. I guess this shows my age. I am modeling it after the popular TV show from my youth Have Gun Will Travel that ran on
CBS from 1957 through 1963. It was about a noble gunslinger name Paladin (Richard Boone) who went around hiring himself out to needy causes and rescuing various victims from tight situations. Gail and I both watched that show every week.
Maybe modeling our Mission name or website title after a famous gunslinger isn’t the best idea, but the metaphor works on some levels. Our vision is to be missionaries available to any mission organization already in existence that needs us. We see ourselves as “come-alongside” missionaries. Maybe God will change that, but that’s what the Leadership is for now.
After a long season of prayer, Gail and I committed ourselves to full-time missions in December 2010. We expect 2011 to be the year we plant our feet on this new ground. Our vision, for the time being, is to be servant missionaries, seeking to serve other established mission organizations around the world rather than originate a new mission organization with ventures of our own. There are a lot of established mission ministries already out there - we desire to go alongside other missionaries as servants and partners until the Lord leads us differently. We are open to go anywhere in the world to serve, short-term, long-term...we'll see...Have Mission Will Travel...
Bob, sitting in the small conference room at Cityview with you, Burton, Bob Higgins, I looked into your eyes and said, “Bob, you are an apostolic teacher.” “Our vision is to be missionaries available to any mission organization already in existence that needs us. We see ourselves as “come-alongside” missionaries. Maybe God will change that, but that’s what the Leadership is for now.” Again, dear friend, “come-alongside” with Father’s heart is apostolic, simply a servant leader, anointed to equip the saints…Go team! Receive yours and Gail’s place in the Kingdom, welcome it as fully empowered to be accomplished in His wonderful power and strength. HE is totally committed to your success in His Kingdom, health, provision, wisdom, all this and more is yours to run the wonderful race of redemption and Kingdom expansion.
Paladin was my favorite show as a kid; I like the “noble” phrase, it fits…Blessings, Hollis
