Missions: Love and Passion Required!

I really enjoyed reading your reflections on the missionaries that you studied. From what I read, you all found inspiration or learned lessons from these amazing people who have and who continue to pour out their lives to share the love of God with people.

Here are some highlights from your reflections:

Katie is a great example of someone who is so in love with God, and I can really learn from her and her relationship with Jesus. {Mercedes}

What inspires me about Katie is her willingness to give without question of how she will provide for herself and how she selflessly gave up all the comforts that she knew and loved...she listened to God’s will even though it seemed like what he was asking was impossible. {Kate}

The part of this missionary journey that inspires me the most is his [Brother Andrew's] persistence. Even when everything was against him, he had faith, faith that the Lord our God would allow it to happen if it was meant to be. It would be a blessing to have such faith as he did, even if I never did anything extravagant. {Claire}

One thing I think is important for us to realize is that if we are doing God’s work, he will provide what we don’t already have. He knows that we are human, and he knows what we are and aren’t capable of. We just need to take a step back and let him do what he does. {Natalie}

I can become involved with Ben Carson’s story by trying my best in everything that is laid before me both physically and spiritually. {Tyson}
