Be Lifted High
| November 23rd, 2009A lot of people ask me the same question in one form or the other.
“What are you studying to be at seminary?” or “What are your plans after seminary?” or “What are you going to seminary for?”
It’s a fair question. I’ve probably asked it myself. But, the funny thing is I don’t really think of my time here in that way. I’m not here to go anywhere. I’m here because this is where Jesus put me. I’m not here to leave. I’m here to lift him high.
Yes, we do have plans/leadings/guidance (and an anticipated graduation date). If I didn’t, I wouldn’t be getting a Masters of Missiology. However, being a missionary doesn’t start when (if) my feet hit some foreign soil. It’s now. After all, this is foreign soil. My mission is clear, and it starts now.
I’m studying to be a better cross-cultural worker. But, that’s secondary. I’m here to lift him high in obedience and faith.
Well written, Ryan.
