I MADE IT TO THE SHIP, THE LOGOS HOPE SHIP

God is good all the time!  I’m so thrilled that I headed the call to do missions overseas.  The decision to commit my life to missions was difficult at first but I knew I was called.  Because we’re all called it just a matter of, what capacity? and where?

My first year was spent doing training in the classrooms with Wycliffe, JAARS, OM and Logos Hope.  Now I’ve finally made it to the point when I’m actually doing my ministry.  I love it but realize the classroom is always there; the classroom of life is always in session. 

The first few weeks of ministry are very key to starting many good relationships with people, but what many and myself didn’t think of as how our ministrys’ didn’t start when we got to the missions field but actually with the instant you accept Christ as your Savior, or maybe even further back when you first were born.  Even though I didn’t realize I was going into ministry I was still impacting people and making impressions on people good and bad and those impressions follow you and stick with those individuals you spent time with. 

            Ephesians 1:5 says, “He predestined us for adoption as sons through Jesus Christ, according to the purpose of His will.”  

Meaning God knew where we would go what we would do and was using all those encounters for His purpose. 

           

I know ministry is relationships whether it be with an unbeliever or believer you can still have ministry.  I think God for the situation He has placed me in and I’m taking advantage of getting to know all the cool people God has put me in contact with.
