The Missionary Heart

A freind of mine from church has venutred on a three month missionary trip aboard a ship called the Logos Hope Missionary Ship. (www.hopeonthewater.com) A very cool back story to how he ended up on the ship! Someone posted the following quote on his Facebook page before he left on May 28.

The Missionary Heart ...
Care more than some think is wise.
Risk more than some think is safe.
Dream more than some think is practical.
Expect more than some think is possible.
I was called not to comfort or success but to obedience.

I find that some friends and family are embracing our decision to move to the DR. Some think we are crazy. Some are envious and wish they could go. Some think it irresponsible to bring our kids out of their school and schedule. Some think our priorities are out of whack. The quote made me realize that my missionary heart is in God's perfect place.

Thank you Lord.
