Day 10 – A new Journey

1 Corinthians 2:9 However, as it is written: “No eye has seen, no ear has heard, no mind has conceived what God has prepared for those who love him”

Now you are finally back home. The last few weeks were a very exciting and dynamic affair but now your are slowly going back to normalcy. Stories of the "frontlines" are asked by eager friends and family members and you try your best to recount what God has done to you and His people. As you relive the short days in the field, you can't help but wonder how it would be like to come back again.

Whether God wants you to come back or not, be secured that He has plans for you here back home. He has shown you great things during the short time abroad and have thought you great insights on His plans in the world. You have come back a different person. Now have faith that the same God you have changed you will continue to guide you for  the rest of your life.

So what should we do in the mean time? Ask God of course! He will show you what you need to do.

This is Gedward's insights after his Short term mission in Bangladesh. God had shown him a greater perspective on reaching the lost. The trip has made the Great Commission much more real and urgent.

Furthermore, the time that he spent with the family of the local pastor has helped him love and appreciate his family more.

During our time together, he told me that in Matthew 24:14, Jesus declared that the Gospel of the Kingdom of God will be preached to the whole world before the end will come. This verse became one of his main motivations in reaching the lost for he longs to see the Lord come back here in the world.
