Thank you, Ann! Just what I needed to hear. I feel like you have become a mentor of sorts, and I really appreciate it. You’re right… God does give us wonderful things to enjoy here at home, why not around His great world. Over and over through this challenge I keep finding that my vision is too narrow, I’ve set my sights too low.

Today, a minister named Reinhart Bonnke shared a great quote. He said, “When you work with man, you need money. When you work with God, you need faith. The currency for the kingdom of God is FAITH.” And yes, God will provide.
But it’s also important to remember that God created the flowers and the mountains and the oceans. Just like it’s okay to take walks and enjoy our local area, It’s okay to enjoy the beauty and majesty of different areas around the world. Even the military understands that you can “recruit” young people by appealing to the longing for adventure and purpose; and how much more so when we are wanting to be a part of God’s purpose.
There’s so much to see. There are so many places to explore. And yes, there are so many people who need Jesus. Ron Luce, founder of TeenMania says, “The Great Commission is the Great Adventure of Christianity.” And David Livingstone said he’d go “Anywhere, provided it be forward.”
And yes, “Where God guides, He provides.”

What a fun challenge this one is! I forget that it’s ok to enjoy the fun part of missions and appreciate the adventure that it is. I do have to admit that today I am discouraged by the cost of going. When I look at purely the mission side of things I think, “God will provide.” When I glimpse at the fun part I think, “We can’t afford that.”
