Where To Build

“And thus I aspire to preach the Gospel, not where Christ was already named, that I might not build upon another man’s foundation; but as it is written, ‘They who had no news of Him shall see, and they who have not heard shall understand.’” Romans 15:20-21

Paul Heard, a musician had a most confronting song about missions work and where God would have us. I always wanted to go be a missionary in Uganda or Malawi because it represented what I thought missionaries did. Then I was called to a missions work with Campus Crusade for Christ, called, “I Found It!” Where we organised and mobilised to share the “Four Spiritual Laws” with every person in Atlanta Georgia (where I lived at the time) and we did. Somehow it seems easier to go to Malawi than to the neighbour next door. One thing I have learned is you need to listen to His leading and know He has a plan for everyone to hear and understand His message of amazing grace. Just keep listening!

“And Jesus came up and spoke to them, saying, ‘All authority has been given to Me. Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations, baptising them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all that I commanded you; and lo, I am with you always, even to the end of the age.’” Matthew 28:18-20

Take care to know God’s Word, your servant and friend in Christ, Darlene
