I love it when people say, “I am not ‘called’ to missions.” I know they really mean, “I do not feel like God wants me to move overseas and eat injera bread the rest of my life.” But all followers of Jesus are called to missions. To follow Jesus is to be missional! Even those who live in this country are to be involved in the mission of God at home and around the world.

John Piper says, ” There are three types when it comes to missions. Thise who go, those who give, and the disobedient.”

William Booth said this back in the day…

“‘Not called!’ did you say? ‘Not heard the call,’ I think you should say.Put your ear down to the Bible, and hear Him bid you go and pull sinners out of the fire of sin. Put your ear down to the burdened, agonized heart of humanity, and listen to its pitiful wail for help. Go stand by the gates of hell, and hear the damned entreat you to go to their father’s house and bid their brothers and sisters, and servants and masters not to come there. And then look Christ in the face, whose mercy you have professed to obey, and tell Him whether you will join heart and soul and body and circumstances in the march to publish His mercy to the world.”

Love it…I think we would have been pals!
