Some may claim that this trip is a major sacrifice and hindrance in many aspects of life such as friends, family, and career development. I see it as an incredible opportunity to serve the Kingdom of God and experience perspectives unlike any I have witnessed. The ability to learn and adapt is one of my favorite gifts God gave us, and I cannot think of many more effective ways of doing so. I will be able to utilize what I learn on this trip for the remainder of my days as I carry out the Great Commission. As I have been quite fortunate to have been born in the United States with a loving family, I wish to share that love and fortune so many individuals desperately need.
I hear excuses every day. Some are valid and some are examples of how pathetic we can become. I’ve been guilty at times, yet I strive to examine myself, listen to God, set my priorities, and realize my potential. As we cannot really understand death, we begin to ignore the uncertainty of our lifespan and it becomes easy to put off important tasks. We assume that we can save all the challenging tasks that might result in failure for a future date. We only have one shot at this one life, so do we choose to follow the life path that others tell us or carve our own? We are all capable of extraordinary feats, and I am a firm believer that with the right mindset, nothing can impede our road to success.
Thank you for stopping by and I would ask that you prayerfully consider donating to this magnificent adventure for God I will be engaging in in India, Nepal, Vietnam, Cambodia, Botswana, South Africa, Swaziland, Argentina, Chile, Bolivia, and Peru. Contact me if you have any questions.
Stay Classy,
Daniel Cook
