Gail and I are currently in retreat, considering our forward progress. My feel at the moment is that God has very much affirmed our call to missions in this last trip to India and Uganda. I have been encouraged by a friend, Dan Bray, to continue to write about the trip and go a little deeper.
So for the next few days, while we are still in retreat, I will share some further thoughts, reflections, experiences, and observations about India and Uganda and the ministries I participated in there. Perhaps, as God leads, I will share some about missions in general also because there is a lot percolating at the moment.
So look for some entries over the next few days.
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...
Catching up with your journey (inside and out!) as you write about them here. I’ve been busy with two jobs, one of which is in its busiest time of year, so am behind.
Just in response to this particular post, I love the determination to write and share with us as you are going. I think it’s in your sweet spot, both as a writer and as a teacher for you to do this. I’ve always found when I’m in my sweet spot that God clarifies things. So I’m excited!
