Missions 101

Paula found herself in the shower weeping as the storm raged around her. The plastic was whipped off the frames and she stood naked. It was a breaking point after all the struggles she encountered in the field. As she wept, her dog Harley began to howl. It was as if God was saying He understood and was with her. When she shared that story, I was humbled. I had complained about the cold showers where I was staying. It was nothing compared to the field. I left Brazil with the understanding that only the best make it through Missions 101 - only those who have learned to thoroughly trust God can be field missionaries.
