We need to go to the mission field because so few people feel the need or answer the call. A lot of times people will think about going and helping other people but they will use such excuses as:
-I don’t have the time or resources to go.
-Someone else who has more resources will go; they don’t need me.
-I can’t leave my job or family.
But where there is a will, there is a way. Before I went to World Changers I was worried because I am self-employed and when I don’t work, I don’t get paid. I would be gone for a week without pay, plus I would need some spending money there. Well, Jesus said that if you have the faith of a mustard seed you can accomplish anything. So I took a leap of faith, sent out letters to friends and customers asking for a few dollars from each, and
I got enough to pay for the trip.
I went and never regretted it. It was wonderful. The fellowship and love that you feel when you’re out helping others can not be bought.
If your excuse is that someone else will do it, then think about what would happen if everyone thought that way. There would be no one going, and no one getting the help they need or hearing about the good news of what Jesus did for us. If you are thinking about going, take the plunge like I did. You won’t regret it.
