God sure is good!
Tonight Tom Needham, a missionary to Cameroon Africa, preached at my church. He basically went over what the basic parts of being a missionary are. It was really neat. I’d known for a while that the Lord wanted me in missions work, but tonight he really called me to the mission field of Africa I believe. I want to do His will. I really think I would like it over there, just from what brother Needham said. But that’s not what matters, what I want is for God to be happy. It’s kind of cool to see God orchestrate things for me. My neighbors are from Cameroon, which I’ve known for a long time. We invited them to church tonight since we knew that brother Needham is preaching. They had to leave before the preaching actually started, unfortunately. But we did find out that they are actually from the same small village that Pastor Needham ministers to! Amazing huh? I really feel that God has something big in plan here in the near future for our neighbors and us. I don’t feel God totally calling me to Cameroon yet, but it’s as if He’s giving me a place to start right in my back yard. I don’t feel I can go to the foreign mission field to fulfill my duties as a Christian if I can’t fulfill them here. Pray for me. Pray that God would direct. I’m not sure what God wants me to do with my life, but I know he wants me to go on a short term missions trip in the near future, and that I’d better get busy witnessing. There are people dying and going to spend an eternity separated from the God who so mercifully saved me. It’s real, it’s happening, people are suffering eternal torment, some not because they outright rejected Christ, but because they’ve never heard the name at all. It’s just so hard to live with eternity in view. Pray for me and also pray for pastor Needham’s son, who is going to have major back surgery tomorrow. His surgery is a whole ‘another story of God’s goodness to His servants. Well, G’night.
