Quote

“The missionary heart: Care more than some think is wise. Risk more than some think is safe. Dream more than some think is practical. Expect more than some think is possible. I was called not to comfort or success but to obedience….There is no joy outside of knowing Jesus and serving him.”—Karen Watson, martyr, March 15, 2004

    Challenging quote! I've been thinking a lot lately about getting out of the comfort zone.

      We have comfort zones on the mission field, too...I may be about to get out of mine...stay tuned. :)

    Just stay safe. You are needed for the long haul, not the short race.

      I think the greatest "danger" I might face would be a plane crash or an earthquake. Both of which I face regularly. :)

      Hmm...don't know why this comment was removed...slip of a finger, I guess. Sorry about that!

      Brother Ewing could certainly sing about Heaven – and that is worth getting out of our comfort zone, for sure.
