Again channel 20 ...
This is a story about a woman from netherland. She is called to a remote area - Mongolia. I was surprised by those horses running around and people wearing traditional ethnic clothes (they still follow the traditions closely). And she is the only missionary serving there among many villages. It has been difficult for her to meet all the needs. And those new Christians keep going back to the old routines ... There are so many challenges that I was actually quite overwhelmed by the needs and the fact that the reapers are so few. And when she shared about her calling, her feelings and what she'd been through ... it is really something from Jesus's heart. Her life is a perfect reflection of what Jesus did when he was on earth.
"... it hurts me when I know these people have never heard of Jesus and nobody was there to tell them ..."
"... sometimes I feel how expensive it is - to leave your comfort zone and be called to somewhere you don't know until you are about to set off ... when it costs all your goals, your whole life, your emotions, your time ... to follow His will ..." (think about what costs Jesus ...)
"... but I am changed so deeply. I'll never be the same ... and I can't go back (to Netherlands), not that I cannot go back to my home country but I won't be back the same I was"

Now looking back at what I wrote about this "M" from Europe, it reminds me of my trip to SiChuan. I guess all our team members won't be the same when are back to our family, our work, our church ... less of us, more of Jesus!
