AN EXCERPT FROM MY PERSONAL MISSION STATEMENT

World evangelism is the great cause to which I have consciously dedicated my life and resources. Anything I can do to further the cause of seeing the world’s people come to a knowledge of Jesus Christ as their Savior is automatically the high priority. I will go anywhere to lecture, teach, train, or raise up Christian leaders who can further evangelize their people. I seek to put into their hands the tools they need and release them to serve in ways most effective in their own culture. When I cannot personally go, I financially support those who do. I train young missionary and ministry candidates, pouring myself openly and honestly into them in an effort to help them, in their generation improve on the efforts made by missionaries in mine. I seek to be transparent so that they may be prepared for difficulties as well as the opportunities involved in world missions. I also methodically and by name pray daily for nations, national heads, governments, pastors, churches, Christians, and peoples.

I believe that earthly life is merely temporary preparation for the real existence that begins when we depart this tent of clay. When my mind and spirit are free from present physical restrictions, in my new body, I anticipate the fulfillment of my eternal destiny. Holy and lofty opportunities for meaningful service and responsibility await me. At that time, I do not want to regret having missed any opportunity to serve, give, or prepare adequately on earth. I seek to apply now, in this life, the same value system we all will use in the next; to live and serve now so as to have no regrets then.
