WHAT:
A Kingdom Journey. A literal, physical pilgrimage to follow in the footsteps of Christ into the world, proclaiming Christ and His kingdom. It is the call and the process of moving and living out the commandment to GO! in Matthew 28.
WHERE/WHEN:
Lord willing, in June 2013 I will be moving to Ongole, India for a year. I will be working at Sarah's Covenant Homes (SCH) which is an orphanage (although most of the kids have been abandoned not orphaned) full of 105 beautiful special needs kids. I will be going as a nurse to serve these kids and young adults in any way that I can. It might mean spending the day doing physical therapy or sitting bedside at a local hospital or a day full of paperwork. I have simply no idea. Scary? Yup. Crazy? Quite possibly. Faith building? Definitely. Exciting? Ohmygoodness yes!
WHY:
Because I have to. It is a call, a passion, a need for me to follow Christ in this way. It is something I have tried to ignore because it is different and scary. But in the end when Christ says, "Follow me" there is not a fiber in my being (no matter how badly I may want to) that can say no. I believe that I was created "For such a time as this". To be the hands, feet and face or love to God's special children in India. I wish I could explain it better but the feeling is so strong I don't have words. You are going to have to watch me live it out.
