Missions

I was talking to a missionary friend today about the roles of people who partake in missions. She pointed out "It's all about spreading the gospel. From those who go to those who pray to those who preach to those who finance. We all have a role & I never saw it so clearly before raising support."

She is being humbled. By that I mean, she is learning she is not the center of the Gospel cause. I am learning through her financial struggle how myopic we can get on the value of "direct" ministry. There are many other just as important unseen and unacknowledged roles. Ultimately Jesus has ownership of HIS cause-spreading the Gospel-& ownership of the MEANS by which his cause is carried out. Therefore, as long as we are being faithful, like she said, we are being good stewards. The rest we must leave to grace & sovereignty.
