A Call to Moms
As I was browsing through mission organizations and the miraculous works of the mission field these days, I remembered reading biographies of missionaries like Mother Teresa, David Livingstone, Corrie Ten Boom, Florence Nightingale, Brother Yun, etc.. that mom bought me during my childhood years.. Oh, and I wondered why mission has always been my passion! :)
And I also remembered the wonders that the worship songs did during out-of-town trips when I was a little girl. Dad and mom would always played those songs in the car anytime we went to Puncak (it used to be our family's favorite weekend escapade back in the days- it's located in Gunung Salak). As the songs were playing, I sang along wholeheartedly, enjoying the sweet presence of God and His breathtaking wonders of creation.
It is saddening to see how cold and ignorant church has been these days- where it's always about me, me, me. How many are still willing to lay down their lives for Christ to show God's love? Despite the lack, I'm glad to know that there are people like Heidi Baker, Katie Davis, and other missionaries who have displayed heaven on earth. They've brought Christ to the remotest places on earth to satisfy His love for the most empty, desperate souls. Are we willing to be channels of His love too?
Mom and I are now ministering together in our ladies bible studies, just being faithful of what the Lord has entrusted us. We long for people to experience Jesus and be rooted in His love. It always a joy to see people being immersed in the love of Jesus!
Moms, are you ready to invest in something everlasting? Teach your children the fear of the Lord and the love of His Word, and you don't have to worry that your children will depart from the faith.
Keep sowing faithfully! :)
Love,
Gita

So, it was the faithful investment that my mom made, that made my heart so geared towards missions and people. She probably didn't realize how much impact those books have made on me. But she has invested correctly, in the incorruptible faith of the Lord Jesus Christ.. to her own daughter.
