Keys—those jangly things—have a specific
purpose, don’t they? Their purpose is greater than holding your newest key ring
from your last travel destination. While your new souvenir may look cool, it
won’t by itself help the key with its purpose. No matter the shape, size, or
age, keys are meant to unlock something worth protecting. Only the holder of
the keys can introduce you to what lies on the other side of the protective
barrier.
With over 100 years of experience, World
Gospel Mission has a few “keys” we know to be true when it comes to being
successful in ministry. Guess what? We are not keeping them a secret.
This issue of The Call will unlock several of those imperative facets. The
stories are coming from the key holders themselves, and I think that is what
makes this issue so important. As you turn the pages of the magazine, I hope
you can see clearly that missions is for everyone. The Great Commission takes
all of us to be successful.
What “keys” are you holding?
Your missions key ring may hold only one
key right now, and that’s perfect because you know what it unlocks and I trust
you are using it regularly. Others may have collected several missions keys
over the years. Have you taken them out lately? Some of your keys may be rusty
and need to be polished and put back into practice.
It doesn’t matter what the size of your
collection is; what’s important is that you are using your keys. Please take
time to reflect on this issue in prayer, asking God what keys you hold. Be
prepared to walk in obedience as He takes you on a journey, showing you what
lies on the other side of the barriers you unlock.
Thank
you, key holders,
~Kristi
