Discipleship: An Unknown Land


It’s always easier knowing where the next stop in one’ s life will take them. Isn’t it?

Evan attending our world mission conference last December and God seemed to be speaking to him in several ways regarding the nations. He had several moments with people there that we both recognized when he came home as divine appointments. He came back and mentioned to me that he made a commitment to pray over a nation who didn’t have the bible written in their own language (he has still been sowing into this nation through prayer to my knowledge). Through the course of his time at the conference and also interacting with Bible translaters there he started to look in to a Bible Translation Summer Program. It has streteched him to go to a different nation, to believe God for funding, and to press in to a sign that God is leading him there without really knowing why.

 
You might say, so what I know people who have taken risks for Jesus and I even have? I hope this is so because isn’t it like God to tell people to leave their “country, their father’s household and go to a land [He] will show you” (Genesis 12:1). God leads us on adventures and it is not easy to follow but this young man has said yes. I see God cultivating in this young man a heart for the nations. Is this the beginning of an onramp to the nations for this young man? It seems so to me.
