I am so happy to attend Because of the Times conference in Alexandria, Louisiana, the theme being "Hear the Voice." It's so wonderful to be among dear friends again who share my passion for missions. Today, the speaker asked all the minister's wives, missionary wives, and ministerial women to come to the front for prayer. I haven't quite adjusted to the thought that I'm no longer laity but a leader, so I stayed in my seat. That is, until I saw I was the only woman remaining behind. Suddenly, I realized who I was and who God had called me to be: a missionary. I quickly made my way to the front to join the other women. As I raised my hands towards Heaven, I accepted God's call upon my life.
Maybe you're thinking, "Wait, I thought you accepted the call when you applied for the Associate in Missions (AIM) program?" Yes, indeed I had responded to God's call as an AIMer when I applied, but I viewed it as a temporary calling, one that I was to do for six months. Today, I accepted the permanent call of God upon my life, the call of a missionary. I know what I am commissioned to do: to go into all the world, teaching all nations and baptizing them in Jesus Name. I will gladly carry out His Great Commission and accept the new responsibility that was placed upon my shoulders today.
I don't know how God will fulfill His Call upon my life as a missionary. I only know that I "heard the Voice" and agreed to follow Him through life's journey from earth to Heaven.
