"Missions isn't a trip to the zoo. It's not a check list of how many fascinating pictures you took. It's not about seeing places and meeting interesting people. Missions is a hospital. It's about loving, helping, and rescuing people in their deepest areas of need."

someone else...sorry.....I forget where I got this;
"let it be our deepest desire in life to know God, to hear His voice, and to follow Him!
there will undeniably be moments when you look like a fool as you try to follow God’s voice. Noah didn’t receive the world’s applause when he followed the Lord’s voice. He was rejected and laughed at, but that did not stop him from being faithful to God’s calling.
I’m not ministering in my own inadequate strength.
many of us have full resumes of what we did for God, I would rather have a resume full of what God did through me!"
