- to ants in the sugar bowl
- to things that fly, creep and crawl into the house
- to uncertain water, sporadic electricity
- to long hours, sweltering heat, exhausting days
- to uncomfortable vehicles, crowded jeeps, smelly buses
- to noisy, early, Early mornings
- to rice, rice, and more rice
- to poverty you didnt believe existed
- to masses of people like you have never seen
- to know and work with people who have never know comfort
So send I you, and I expect you to adjust.
So send I you:
- to people who will give to you from their poverty
- to friends that will embarrass you with their generosity
- to pastors that will entertain you from their lack, with bounty
- to hungry, receptive, questioning people who want to know God
- to study, to teach, to learn from your study and teaching
- to probe your own motives, values, and beliefs
- to learn about yourself and the culture that has reared you
So send I you.
Are you going? I'll go with you all the way.
