Posted by Ashley Hoover
When does God call people to long-term missionary service?
* 21% were called as a result of a missions education service in their local church
* 20% felt God calling them after listening to missionary speakers
* 19% were called because of their own family's missions vision and conversations
* 10% heard God's call through reading missionary books

When/how did God call you? Do you fall into any or several of these catagories or is your story part of the 30% not listed?
I think it was a combination of all of these things actually. I loved listening to missionaries speak when I was younger(still do) and having them in our home. Missionary biographies are some of my favorite books to read. I knew from a young age I wanted to be a missionary, it took a while for me to really focus on it though. There were some bumps along the way and I tried to do my own thing, but God brought me to the place I am now and I'm super excited about it!
Okay so this comment doesn't have anything to do with your post but I just wanted to drop by and say...Can't wait to have you home!!!! Like - I'm totally counting the days. And "next week" sounds so nice. :D
Love ya and see you SOON!
