Today in church we had the privilege of hearing from Jimmy and RoxAnne Cox, missionaries in South Korea. RoxAnne spoke of how they work in South Korea to train missionaries, and Jimmy preached our sermon. His text was Acts 16:1-10.
As Paul was beginning his Second Missionary Jouney, he intended to travel to more of Asia Minor, taking seriously his call to be the Apostle to the Gentiles. A Man from Macedonia (probably God Himself) appeared to Paul in a vision, imploring him to come to Macedonia. God hadn't placed a limit on Paul's mission field.
Like Paul, most of our limits are self-imposed. Oftentimes these limits are actually contrary to God's will for us. Our call is always to follow Christ, which may require that we leave our comfort zone. As we feel God beginning to stretch us, we should not be afraid to follow through. When we step out in faith God is already there!
Please remember in prayer the Cox family and all others in the missionary field.
