Hi, i am 18 starting my 1st year at College. I have felt the call to missions for over a year.. i have went to several mission camps over the past 4 years. and i always feel happyer, and closer to God when im serving others and trying to spread his Gospel and His love..
I finally accepted the calling to be a missionary this year.. as of right now im saving my money and planning fund raisers with my church to try and pay for my trip.
What i want to say to you is.. If you really feel like God is calling you to be a missionary.. dont hold back and dont let the words of others deter you from what God has called you to do..
When you are in Gods will and serving Him you will be live a happyer life.. at least that is how it was with me.. i am happyer serving others. . so maybe its like that for you.
i will keep you in my prayers.
