Our Call to India

 For the last few months God has been speaking to Brad and I about our Calling. Through dreams, people, and his word He has been preparing us for what he has for us. We feel He has called us to India. We don't know when or what part exactly but we believe he will work it all out in His timing. I never thought that I would be a missionary, even after I was told when I first started going to church that one day I would be a missionary. My first reaction was, "ME! No way jose!" I really thought the lady was crazy. I was only 14 at the time how could I become a missionary.

 It has just been over the last few months that God has reminded me of the encounter I had when I was 14. The first time I heard we were called to India was from Brad. He told me that he was sleeping and had a dream that was so real it woke him and he felt led to pray for Gods call in our life. He was asking God to tell him what He wanted us to do and where he wanted us to go, thats when he said he dropped his notebook and when he went to pick it up the word India popped out at him from the page. He really felt like God was saying we are called to India. At first I was like, "Your Crazy!"-sounds familiar right?

Well instead of completely axing the idea I decided to start praying about India. I asked God to speak to me and confirm that we are called to India. Well a few weeks later when I was attending church I told God during worship that He was going to tell me what we were going to do and where we were going to go. I was so sick of not knowing!  Well, He certainly told me. After worship was done Pastor Ron got up to speak the message he was scheduled to speak. Every week they tell you the next 3 weeks sermons in advance and let you know what is being spoken each Sunday. When Pastor Ron got up to speak, he seemed conflicted.

When he opened his mouth he started saying that he really felt like God was telling him to let this missionary speak that was visiting our church. He said that he was only going to have her do an opening before his sermon but that God told him to let her have the whole service. So he obeyed God and allowed Sarah the missionary from INDIA speak that day. When she spoke of India and all she was doing there for Cry of India I knew then that I would be in India one day. God was starting to give me a heart for India and even now as I am writing this I feel excited for my chance to love on the people of India. It is an amazing thing when God calls you to do his will. I do believe one day Brad and I will be in India, whether it be for a short period or long term we will preach the gospel to the lost of India. We will see blind eyes opened, the lost won to Christ, and the bondages of witchcraft broken! God is going to move in a mighty way!

Here is the exact service I was at: http://www.firstassemblyfw.org/Feb05-12.mp3
