What If I told you that the mission trip was paid for...so you could get pumped up and not worry about the $$$.
What if I told you that I was going to take you somewhere where there were TONS of people who needed Christ and you could make a HUGE impact from the moment you arrived.
What if we got on a plane and flew for 20+ hours.
What if we arrived at night and went straight to a hotel so we could sleep and get ready for the next day.
What If you woke up and you were at a hotel in your hometown.
would you be disappointed? or would you understand that where you live IS a mission field and there are TONS of people who need to know Christ right where you live?
Been home for several weeks now. When i was coming home from Cambodia I was thinking about all of these 'what if' statements. Every time i get 'home', i begin to see these truths more and more clearly. There are TONS of people here in New Orleans who NEED Christ. Just cause you know people (or even some of your friends) 'go to church' doesn't mean that they know who Christ is and have a personal relationship with Him.
Man...the past several weeks since I have been home have been awesome. And i'm not just saying that. The reason that they have been awesome is because i have been blessed to be surrounded by people who need to know Christ. And I am given this awesome opportunity to not only share my faith, but to do so consistently and even begin to spend a lot of time with these awesome friends.
iTuesday has been awesome (as usual) and we have seen many new friends come through the door.
I do have plans for later this year and the next couple months, but thats not what my focus is on.
I'm beginning to get it (cause it takes me a while to see what God is saying and trying to show me).
It's the here and now and matters.
look around.
Be a missionary now. You don't have to get on a plane.
Got back from Cambodia just in time to stand in my friends wedding.
Good Times.
Good.
Times.
