I enjoyed reading your posts, and am asking God to bless you and give you wisdom and courage for wanting all glory to go to Him.<br /><br />I really felt your heart on the post about people asking you why you have to "go" to another country for missions. Our 30 yr old son, his wife, and 5 young children moved to Haiti April 09. We had the same questions asked of us. I told them to ask God, please. He says "go ye unto all the nations..." and they felt called to go. But it is really hard giving them up. I had to cry this afternoon as the lonesomeness hit. But I'm proud of them.<br /><br />Would you grant permission for me to copy that particular post into a new newsletter our website has? our 7 yr website has now gone through a much needed update so may not be complete, but our newsletter is up and running. Our web based ministry is www.mustardseedministries.org<br />and we are just a few believers who get together once a month to work on this project to "point the world to Jesus Christ" and to encourage Christians. We are in Indiana. Not sure if I want to post my email address here, so hopefully you can get back with me.

I understand your whole ...I love panera too. a lot.<br />I understand your whole shpeel. Its very thought-provoking. I like the part where you talk about "what happens when we are no longer a blessing to the nations" <br />I heard a sermon on being comfortable and I fear thats where a lot of churches are these days, they are too comfortable and don't venture out of the ordinary. And when churches get too comfortable, they get to the point of not having a blessing for the nations. What if everyone stayed where they were and in their original churches. I believe that every church would eventually get "too comfortable" and the other nations would be forgotten and every place would be extremely bad. that is why we need people, people who understand this, people like you, and...me?, to go and be the light to those nations, to be the truth, to understand that these places are too comfortable, and to, through God the father, be a blessing to these nations. <br /><br />i would love to hear back from you mel. please.<br /><br />-A-Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159336785824776728.post-37784876415647020602010-02-07T19:58:39.470-08:002010-02-07T19:58:39.470-08:00So... tell me again why you want to go to another ...So... tell me again why you want to go to another country when God has a need here?Michellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04800963468504524233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159336785824776728.post-69380003184045714422010-02-07T10:00:31.561-08:002010-02-07T10:00:31.561-08:00I love you Mel.I love you Mel.Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16195879296029169084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4159336785824776728.post-83138544711256580012010-02-03T11:44:07.708-08:002010-02-03T11:44:07.708-08:00Yes, I agree with the comment above.
