As a pastor, the only thing that blesses my heart more than seeing people surrender their lives to God is to see God's people engage His mission in a real and personal way. Many Christians sit in their stained glass temples and "talk" about following God, but few truly forsake themselves and become faithful to follow Him to the "ends of the earth."
Our team of 13 consists of 6 people who have never traveled outside of the U.S. and one other who has never been outside the U.S. on mission. These people have fully seen why God has called us to GO! They have answered His call and as a result they now are experiencing their Lord in ways they never could otherwise.
Isaiah experienced this same thing as he surrendered his live for his God and stepped out "on mission."
Isaiah 6:8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, "Whom shall I send, and who will go for Us?" Then I said, "Here am I. Send me!"
The truth of the matter is the single greatest goal of our lives is bringing glory to our King. We accomplish that as we leave our agendas behind and embrace His. What is His agenda? Calling people to trust in Him as their Lord and Savior and for His followers to truly follow Him.
