SO you may wonder why the video of an orphanage on my blog? Well God has been leading us and prodding us to start an orphanage. The doors are opening wider and wider into that orphanage being in Guatemala. We are continuing to walk down that path for our lives and let God take us where he wants to take us. Right now we made the announcement at church that i will stay on staff through May and after that we will see where and when God is calling us to Guatemala. Paradise Bound is walking with us and opening doors right along with us until a door would come crashing shut.

I just read in John 20:21 that Jesus sends his disciples just as God the father sent Jesus. The question is what is the role of a missionary? IS the role of a missionary to fulfill the needs of the people they come in contact with? is it to use physical needs to teach about Jesus? Do we read in scripture Jesus telling the disciples to leave and go and supply physical needs? In the feeding of the 500 we do. Jesus tells his disciples to go and make disciples, not to go and feed and cloth and use that to make disciples. Could it be that the role of a missionary is to just GO? in going they are making disciples. Have we sometimes put the need in front of the call to go. Have we said there is a need lets fulfill it and make it a call? I believe we all do this at sometimes in our lives. Use a need make disciples.

What if all Christians just went and did what God was putting in front of them. If the believers who God gifted with money gave sacrificially and did so to fulfill God's call on their life? What if the the one gifted in baking just baked and gave the food because it was the call God put on their life? What if the missionary just went because it was the call on their life. What if you paid for groceries for the person in front of you because it was the call God put on you? God is calling all of us to something, are we following the call and not the need only?

To give you a little background on the orphanage, it is a call it has been prayed about and for for the last 4 months every day and once a week by a group of prayer warriors has prayed for the call and to follow the call on our lives. So here we are now Oct 26,2009 saying we will go for you Father we will travel for you and the call you have put on our lives. May the prayer and the journey of this be a way for you to see God's call for your life.
