Winkie Pratney said “God is looking for willing hearts. You do not have to be special. But you do have to be available.”
Our team has made so many new friends this week! We worked with a couple different churches from the Mainland and the Waipahu area. We have loved getting to know our new friends!!
We worked with a church in Waipahu, helping lead the missions portion of their VBS. They were so interactive and received our message so well. We had loads of fun!
Romans 10:14 says “How then will they call on him in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in him of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone preaching?”
When you look at the disciples, you see a variety of different men. They aren’t what WE would considered qualified. Most were uneducated, unconnected, and unnoticed. While I might have my own agenda for who I would choose as my disciples, Jesus saw something in these men. He saw their willingness to go. He saw their faith in boldness and selected them for the task.
We shared this with the students at the VBS, to show that anyone and everyone is called to go. We wanted to express that the only thing that “qualified” us to be a missionary was putting our "yes" on the table. We trusted that God had a plan and would use us!
