If you have never been overseas, then you should really start saving your money to go. Go somewhere. There is a great big world out there and most of it is very interesting indeed. As well, if you are a follower of Jesus and have never completely committed yourself to something huge and God-sized, then you should start asking God to biggie-size your relationship with him. Although I lived overseas for three years with my wife doing Christian ministry, there is something about starting off on this side of the ocean and ending up on the other side and taking a crew of people with you. It's very band of brotherian. "We few, we happy few, we band of brothers, for he who sheds his blood with me shall be my brother ..." Okay, we are not going to shed blood, but we do go because of blood. The blood of Christ. Maybe it should read, "We few, we happy few, we band of brothers, for he who shares his blood with me shall be my brother ..."
We have 15 amazing people committing resources, time, and energy to share a Love more powerful than anything else in the universe. A love from Jesus Christ, meant for all peoples or all nations. God has called us together and God is preparing us. May we go with the same commitment made 64 years ago by the men and women of WWII. Our lives, our blood, our time, our everything, unselfishly for someone else.
