I am going to East Asia this summer (for 2 weeks), but, the problem is, I don't technically "want" to go...
Let's be honest...I "want" to go to INDIA!!! I have wanted to go to India for about...ohhh, let's see, 6 or 7 years now, ever since I got back from Africa. Yes, I have had the amazing opportunity to go to Turkey, Cambodia and Peru since then, and they have all been amazing trips...but I am still waiting to go to India! It's been "next on my list" for way to long I tell you...
It is a long story, but basically, there is a small group from church going to East Asia this summer (for 2 weeks), and I had not even considered it. Until a few weeks ago, I was praying about something completely different, and I heard God say, "go to China this summer, trust me, you want to go." Just to clarify, it was more like a clear "thought" inside my head, not an audible voice; no, I am not hearing voices. But I am learning to recognize when God is speaking to me; and personally, I hear him in my thoughts.
And if I have learned one thing in the last few years, it has been that God knows me better than I know myself...He has a better plan for my life than I could have, or ever would have imagined on my own. So I trust Him, and I obey Him and I am going to East Asia this summer...! :)
The trip is going to cost an estimated $2,500.
There is no pressure, I know God will provide every penny for this trip, especially because He spoke so clearly.
If you would like to financially support my trip or hear more about what we are doing, call me or email me: mkw304@yahoo.com.
