"Not called!'" did you say? "Not heard the call," I think you should say. Put your ear down to the Bible, and hear Him bid you go and pull sinners out of the fire of sin. Put your ear down to the burdened, agonized heart of humanity, and listen to its pitiful wail for help.

Go stand by the gates of hell, and hear the damned entreat you to go to their father's house and bid their brothers and sisters and servants and masters not to come there.

Then look Christ in the face ~whose mercy you have professed to obey ~ and tell Him whether you will join heart and soul and body and circumstances in the march to publish His mercy to the world.

~commissioned~

On Sunday our 15 team members were commissioned... prayed for and sent out by the congregation. I think that is when reality set in. We are really on our way! It was great to look out in to the congregation and see the faces (and waving arms) of those who have supported me financially and through prayer. After facing discouragement, it was just what my heart needed.

So our "supplies" are packed and ready to go. 4 1/2 more sleeps.
