Anyone who knows me is aware of my desire to "get out there" and see as much as possible. Yes this is true about me. I want to see the world. I hope however that you do not think this trip is just my way of escaping and going on an adventure. That part of it is just a very fortunate accessory of this whole experience.
Some may be wondering, where did all this come from? Justin, you have never done any mission work before, why now? Well as I stated in my "about me" blog, I didnt truly accept Christ until very recently. I came to a point in my life, took a step back, looked around at what I was doing and the direction that I was heading in. I was not happy with what I saw. I was living for myself, it was ugly, messy, useless, and just plain selfish. I was put here for some particular reason and I want to fulfill that purpose.
This is not a year long vacation traveling around the world "finding myself". Will I find out more about who I am, yeah sure, but this will be done through the experience of ministry and human fellowship. By helping change the lives of others I will in turn be transformed. Getting to tell children, who have never heard of him before, about Jesus must be a truly amazing experience. Providing the resources, love, and support that a victim of humman trafficing needs to get away from the situation is one of the most incredible things I have ever read about. These are just 2 of the things I will get to do. This is what I need to do! I have never been more sure that I was going in the right direction than I am right now! This is a chance to start an amazing lifelong journey with God.
