Wow! It's hard to believe that our final 2011 Peru team heads
out in less than 3 weeks and our DR team is getting ready to move
out just a few weeks after that! It's been so neat to talk with
dozens of friends all around the U.S. these last few months and
hear all of the ways that God has been tugging on their hearts to
make a difference this year by serving in either Peru or the
Dominican Republic.
Some of our friends are hungry to go deeper in their faith, and
the next step for them is to take their first mission trip. Others
are eager to use the skills God has given them to help a community
in need. Some friends are bringing their children or teenagers with
them and can't wait to walk beside their kids as they experience
their first cross-cultural experience and see firsthand just how
differently people in other countries live. Mostly, our friends are
just sensing God saying quietly to their hearts, "It's time."
It's time to think about others first. It's time to give back
because much has been given to them. It's time to leap fully into
the unknown trusting that God will catch them. It's time to give
one week away for eternal purposes. It's time to look at the world
with the same eyes of love that God sees it with. It's time.
What is He saying to you today? Have you even had time today to
sit quietly with Him and listen for His voice? Will you take a few
minutes even now and pray for our friends who have heard Him say to
them that it's time? Will you pray for their time in Peru and the
Dominican Republic this fall and ask Him to help us bring all of
the final details together? And while you are praying for our
friends, if you hear Him say to you, "It's time," will you come
too?
