One flew over the cuckoos nest and into Cambodia

Praying for Asia leadership today I couldn't help but praise God for the team that is in Cambodia. All four families with GBIM sacrifice to serve so far away (clockwise: Kent & Becky Good, Steve & Deb Wise, Tim & Jessica Robertson with Ian, and Kevin & Jill Kane).Some would consider them crazy-people for going so far away.

I journeyed around-the-world by riding in planes, sitting long hours, feeling so uncomfortable at times, trying to adjust my seat, all in a cramped airplane. If you have never traveled to SE Asia, you just don't know how far away it is. It's crazy far!

Still, these families and many other missionary families make the choice to serve God wherever He leads. Wherever!


One popular family has heard and obeyed. The Chan's are exploring what God may have for them.  You can read about their exploratory journey.  Some may think it's crazy.  But if following God the Holy Spirit's promptings is crazy, then let's all be crazy. 

I wonder if you are willing to pray for yourself and your family to consider what God would prompt in your heart. I dare you to start asking God for you to be open to serve the Lord wherever He leads.  Are you willing to risk being thought of as crazy? Or as the infamous McMurphy defiantly queried his insane compadres, "Which one of you nuts has got any guts?"  I want to be crazy for God, to do crazy God-like things for Him.  I wonder if you are nuts for the Lord and have the guts to trust Him to go wherever.  I'd love to hear about where God is leading you.
