What is it that breaks your heart, the way it breaks God’s heart?
As you all know, 2010 is the year of change for me, and I really trust God for a new season in my life. To set me free from a dreadful and dreary job, and to release me into a place where I can really make a difference for the Kingdom of God. This is not to say that I can not make a difference at my workplace, but that just isn’t enough for me.
I currently serve in the worship team at church, and always have served in a worship team. That is just my way of doing corporate church. Due to this fact, I always believed that worship is my calling in life, and I must pursue doing that full time. But during the last couple of weeks, stepping into this season of change, my heart has been opened to that which breaks my heart.
Living in Africa, and being used to the poor and beggars all around, I have become insensitive to the needs of the extremely poor. In the last couple of weeks, God has really just softened my heart to the mission field, but specifically children. Whenever I look at a picture of a child suffering from hunger, I just feel an instant break within me, and I am unable to stop the tears.
Now, it is easy to actually do something for the poor. You can give them money, be it directly or through a charity that look after the poor children, like Compassion International, but that just isn’t enough for me. I really want to be with the children and just show them love.
With this revelation in my life, I have made a commitment to myself, God and my family, that I will go on a mission outreach two weeks every year, at least. If God ordains me to go more, I will follow, but what I can do at this point in my life, is two weeks, and I am going to make them count.
So, if anybody know about organisations that does mission outreaches, with which I can join up, I would really appreciate a comment or an email, so I can start to put the things I need in place.
