"The trail is long, and we won't arrive at our destination in this life. Still, we're on the journey with Jesus for the greatest thrill of our lives." Zig Ziglar
As Paul Borthwick says in his book: How to Be a World-Class Christian: Becoming Part of God's Global Kingdom:
"Through prayer, we can join any team that God is using. We can join in
the efforts of missionaries in the Amazon River valley, in the
ministries of pastors in Sri Lanka, or in the evangelistic effort of
"tentmakers' in North Africa!" P. 73
So, look for what God is doing in the world...and become a part of a "team" that is praying for that country, region and or missionary. You can become a part of a team, no matter where you live.
Start where you are. Your church missions group, and or other missions or missionaries you already know. Or go to Operation World
A wealth of info on what God is doing in the world.
Another good resource is Perspectives on the World Christian Movement. A prior blog post of mine gives info on this. Perspectives
You don't necessarily have to physically go to a foreign country...But
the LORD has already given us the call to "GO"....first 2 letters of his
name. GOD.
For those of us who are Boomers or Boomers and Beyond and can't
physically travel to another country...your influence can and will
continue no matter where you are.
Isn't that what we want to hear? I do
And
just maybe...when the LORD returns and creates a new earth...the LORD
may take us to that region and we will meet the people we were praying
for...and the others who were on our "team" and then see how we did
make a difference in the world and for all eternity!
Happy journey!

that at our core is a basic view of reality-a worldview. That worldview
determines who we are, what we value, and how we behave." Gordon
