WHERE ON EARTH ARE WE GOING?!

I wonder how many times those called upon in biblical times, asked this question. "But, Lord, where on Earth are we going?!" I'm thinking not a whole lot. I don't recall ever reading these words in the Bible anywhere. Isaiah?
"Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, "Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?" And I said, "Here am I. Send me!" (Isaiah 6:8)
Abraham, the father of faith? No way. Whenever the Lord would call, to a point of what would become the ultimate trial of faith; a call to the region of Moriah, his answer?
"Here I am," he replied (Genesis 22:18)
So, where is it that we have been called? What was our answer? Did we look on a globe first? I don't think so. Maybe I'm wrong, but that's just not the way it seems to work. We hear a call. Perhaps it's not an audible one, more of a heart pull. Yet, the response is the same.
"Here I am, Lord. Send me!"
THEN, we look on the globe! ;)
And so, we will go. Eight of us. A team, united in Christ, one mission, on a mission trip.
"Therefore, go and make disciples of all nations," (Matthew 28:19)
Jesus commands us, in the gospel of Matthew. "All nations," referring back to the very nations promised to Abraham, all the people, to whom Abraham would father.
"and all peoples on earth will be blessed through you." (Genesis 12:3)
May we be a blessing to those whose lives we will touch through the Evangelical Church in Capljina, Bosnia as the Lord uses us in answer to his call.

SPREADING GOD'S FRAGRANCE

Welcome to our Blog, supporters, friends, family, believers, seekers and all who have a heart for Bosnia -- all who would like to see the needle move in this country economically, politically, socially, but most importantly, spiritually.

Many of us traveling on this prayer team are returning, while some of us are making our first trip, to this distant land where unity is also a foreign concept. In the month's ahead, as we prepare for our trip, we will be embarking on another journey as well . . . the knitting together of our hearts, becoming united in one Spirit. Eight individuals, Jill, Kathy, Jamie, Douglas, BJ, Colleen, Tracy, and Leland have entered into a covenant to lead a procession and spread the aroma of God to the people of Capljina. We hope you will journey with us as eight become one - one fragrance, like the scent of this single rose captured in Bosnia last spring after a rain. May our lives and our witness be the sweet fragrance of God's grace and love for all.

"But thanks be to God, who always leads us in triumphal procession in Christ and through us spreads everywhere the fragrance of the knowledge of him." 2 Cor 2:14
