GO

WORLD

The boy kicked the dirt and looked up a the stars in the sky.

“One day I am going to travel the world,” he said quietly.

“Ah, there you go again, Will, with all your air castles!” replied his older brother. “We will probably always live out here in God’s country. I kinda like it myself.”

“Well, I do too. Stll, I feel that I want to travel and see other places and meet lots of people.”

That dreamer was my Daddy. He moved to Heaven a few months ago and as we studied his life, we could see that his dreams did indeed come true.

He was 19 when he accepted Christ as his Savior and responded to the call to ministry. He traveled from Texas to Los Angeles where he said “yes” to the call to be a missionary. When asked why he wanted to go, he simply said that it was because he wanted to take the good news to everyone who would listen.

His ministry took him to Central and South America. He went to Europe and lived in Spain. He traveled to Australia and New Zealand. The Lord answered his prayer and gave him the world.

More importantly, he touched the lives of others in lasting ways through mentoring and discipleship. In his final years, he mentored others who went and touched their world.

Dreaming of reaching the world is a process of multiplication that made Dad such an outstanding servant of the Lord.Click To TweetI want to be like my Dad when I grow up.

Prayer

Thank you, Lord, for the legacy of the world that Dad left when He went into Your presence. There were few wasted moments as he looked for the revelation of Jesus in the life of everyone he met. Give us the wisdom to press in to Your will for us as we seek for You to give us the nations. The world will be changed one person at a time as we truly see them, love them and treat them like you treat us. Give us this perspective every day. In Jesus’ name. Amen.
