My calling to missions can best be described through the ways I’ve received a couple of scriptures. The first significant scripture is the parable of The Workers in the Vineyard from Matthew 20:1-16. Through this, I learned that I should not work out my salvation like a laborer expecting wages but, rather, like a vulnerable child obeying a God who is worthy of worship and service.
The most influential passage is from Matthew 25:31-46, The Sheep and the Goats. Of all of my favorite powerful passages in the Bible, this one has had the most impact on me. I believe that it reveals a beautiful piece of God’s character and it exemplifies what missions should look like and the mindset we should have – serve God by serving man.
After my first mission trip to Mexico, I learned that every person who is a member of the Body of Christ is called to missions. Some go while others provide financial and spiritual support. I know that one of my spiritual gifts is service and I know God wants to use this to further His kingdom. After Leigh mentioned Kenya, I immediately felt led to go. So…I’m going to Kenya!
