A while back this year, I heard a sermon from one of the ministers in Ukraine associated with MDI. I remember one sentence from his sermon, and it has been persistently on my mind ever since. He was encouraging the congregation to care, really care, for people in other places. He said, "How far is your love?" It really struck me and it hasn't let me go since.
There is also one more thing. A bit before this time, God had been putting orphans (all orphans) on my mind. So I've had the two nagging things going on inside of me, yet I can seriously tell you that I wasn't anxious to go to Ukraine. However, the best way that I can describe my "decision" is to say that at the deadline, actually past the deadline, I felt absolutely compelled to go. I would say that it came in to my head as, "I cannot not go!" (super double negatives!)
Creating a movement of gospel transformation throughout the world!
