Over past months, I have read a few of your blog posts here and recieved e-mails from you about your missionary activity in Russia, and I just want to say that I am overwhelmed! It amazes me to no end when I realize that God is doing awesome things not only here, but all around the world. I believe that I have been called to go into the ministry and become a missionary when the time comes, but every part of the idea scares me. I don't like to travel. I worry about the language barrier. I would get homesick. I would miss my friends and family. I don't know how I would adapt to a new culture. I'm drive myself silly thinking that I won't even like the food they eat! But in spite of all of this, I still have such a strong conviction that this is my purpose in life, and I believe in all of my heart that is where God will take me. I am comforted by the fact that it is in my weakness that I am strong, because God is strong through me. I rest assured knowing that the Lord of Heaven and earth will be my provider, my comforter, my healer. I know that through Christ Jesus, I can do all things. I am reminded of when Thomas asked Jesus "Lord, we do not know where You are going, and how can we know the way?" to which Jesus replied "I am the way, the truth, and the life and no one comes to the Father except through Me." Everything becomes so simple when we just realize that Jesus IS the way. I don't have to worry myself thinking about how things will get done, I can simply rest assured that they will get done because God said they would be done, and God's word does not return void, but it will accomplish what He desires and achieve the purpose for which He has sent it! Praise God! I am so grateful to be able to hear from you on many occasions of how the Spirit is moving in Russia, and I pray that you would soon see a great revival and that many souls would be one for the Kingdom! Thank you so much, you have been a great encouragement to me and I just wanted to let you know. I will keep you in my prayers always!<BR/><BR/>In Christ, <BR/>Travis R.Martyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15334454472884971074noreply@blogger.com
