I know this is difficult for you.
Difficult to understand and not something you want to accept. Know
that it is difficult for me as well, to leave you. But the One who
purchased me with His own blood and paid a debt so great, a debt I
could never pay, has called me to do this work for Him. And if He
gave His life for me, should I not give my life for Him?
This missionary call is not a whim or
just something I decided to do. It is a genuine call of God and has
been tested many years through much refining and trial. It burns like
a steady fire in my soul. And it burns with one focus... to serve
Christ, to serve His people and to be His hands and feet in a very
desperate area of the world. A place full of people who have cried
out in desperation for years to Him. “God help us!!” “Please
help us!!” and for over thirty years He has been preparing us and
molding us into the kind of servants needed to meet that desperate
cry and used in answering their prayers.
I know it is a long way away and that
you are afraid for me. Please don't be. I am safer in the middle of
Gods' will than you are just sitting in your living room. Our lives
are so fleeting and I am happy to give these last years to this work.
I cannot think of anything greater to live for or a more fulfilling
way to live out my life. Please be happy for me, please let me go
with peace. I know this is a sacrifice for you. Ever since Christ
came to earth, lived, gave His life and rose again, He has called His
people to serve in many ways. This is the way He has chosen for me
and for you. For me to go and for you to stay and to let me go.
I love you
