Leaving All Behind   September 24th, 2009   -  sfinley

I really enjoyed this story!  The  story below is about two girls who wanted to make a difference, so they went to Africa on a short-term missions trip. I don`t think I could do it.. living in a grass hut isn’t my idea of a good time but I`am so thankful for those who are willing to give up their comfort zones to reach the lost.

“Leaving all Behind”

Kelsi and Brittany walk on their hut`s sand floor and cook on their gas burner in West Africa. Their only source of light is a single bulb.

But these two missionaries knew conditions would be rough when they signed up for the Hand On program. It`s a program that challenges short-term missionaries to leave behind their American lifestyles and share the gospel in difficult places.

Kelsi and Brittany learned the Zerma language and immersed themselves in the villager`s daily activities. They give first-aid or search for a lost goat. And they tell people about Jesus Christ. Kelsi says, “I have been stretched more beyond measure than I have ever been in my life.”

Where is God Calling you to serve Him today?
