Thinking about our spiritual adoption and orphans all week/weekend had me thinking of those who put aside their own desires, comforts, insecurities, etc etc in order to sow, plant and water the seeds in this world. Only God can yield an increase, but these people sacrifice much for His kingdom. Some work at home in their community (Judea), some have relocated to other parts of the US (Samaria) and some have gone to the ends of the earth.
So today, I'm thankful for those that daily strive to reap a harvest...
missionaries.
Many of us know missionaries all around the world. Here are a couple of friends that are dear to my heart.
Uncle B and Tashi, serving the Lord in Jamaica
Jesse and Uab (and their boys), serving the Lord in Thailand
How often do you pray for those you know (or don't) that are spreading the Gospel? And how often are you witnessing and sharing your faith to those around you? You don't have to be called to go to Mexico, China or Africa to be a missionary. Our purpose on this earth is to glorify God and be an ambassador for His kingdom, and sometimes that begins in your own home with your family.
