We all are called to pioneering missions.
We are preparing the way for the coming of the King.
“A message was revealed to Daniel. The message was true,
but the appointed time was long.” Daniel 10:1
Daniel had to learn patience, the same way as all the other prophets.
They saw things that were in the future, but often they didn’t
see the events that took place between the mountain tops.
Sometimes there were long valleys and other mountains that
seemed so insignificant when compared with the big vision.
In pioneering missions we have learned that nobody will be
offended, if we don’t do it. If we stopped following our call,
most of the world would care less. Even most of the religious
people would just be happy that we finally became “normal
Christians”.
As pioneering missionaries we have to be prepared to do our
work without a support, encouragement and recognition.
If our call stands or falls on those things, fall it will.
If we agree to seek him disregard of our circumstances and
other people’s opinions, we are prepared to go and prepare
the way for Jesus. That’s what pioneering missions is all about.
Just like those whom Jesus sent before him to the Samaritan
villages in Luke 9:51-56
James and John took their rejection personally and were ready
to deal with them, reacting emotionally. Jesus corrected them
and simply decided to go to another village.
“Rejoice and be exceedingly glad, for great is your reward
in heaven…” Mt.5:12
