real life missions

I remember surrendering my life to missions a couple of years ago...it was a definite purpose that God had instilled in me. I was excited and very much willing to quit my job and pursue a missionary life somewhere remote! But what followed after surrendering was unexpected...

silence...utter silence

I'm like stuck in a free fall after excitingly jumping from a life of being a commoner Christian. Then I realized I was wrong. I was looking at missions differently...although I know the general implications of being in full time ministry as a Christian, I was still blinded by my preconceived ideas that accepting God's call made it different! I was still engaged in an angelic conflict...God did not put me aside and preserved me for future missionary use, I was still enduring the same struggles I had even before surrendering my life to missions.

so what's the deal? what's happening?

Well...all I can say is that God has been training me from the moment i said "Lord, here I am...use me!" I am not disqualifying the chances of going out and starting a church somewhere in the Philippines but right now, God has been impressing some unique things regarding missions.

Since I'm involved in multimedia, maybe I can use what I know about the trade as leverage in introducing the gospel. Most people these days go for the fast paced, colorful, interactive, flashy things of life...maybe it's time I present the Word of God in a whole new level!

As of now...I'm still waiting for an opportunity...waiting...learning....and hopefully...GROWING!

So if you have the heart for missions, pray about it...take it from me...your already a missionary!
