Though I've spent most of my life in church, I didn't understand that the call to missions is for ALL believers. Last summer, while chaperoning a youth camp for my church, the speaker challenged us with the question...
What is more important to you... being comfortable in your own nation, or the spread of the Gospel to all nations?
The way you live is the answer to that question.
At that moment, I knew I had to go somewhere-- to leave behind the comfortable & step into what God was inviting me to. As I was praying about where God wanted me to go, every sign seemed to be pointing to Nehemiah Teams. My family, church, mentors and 3 of my friends were all incredibly helpful & encouraging me making the decision to spend this semester in the Philippines as a part of AOT.
Pray for Grady as he finishes up his time in the Philippines in early December and returns home. Pray for him to be open to what God has next for him in reaching the nations.
