This is a price that must paid to go on mission's trips or build any major project. Lastly, the price of energy. Life has many twists and turns, and they all require energy to negotiate. This price is almost like driving a vehicle across the country. The stress, pressure, bouncing, movement, quick stops and close accidents all take their toll.
Missions involve many twists and many turns.
There is a cost to be paid if we are to reach the nations. I look back over all the years of pouring out my life into establishing People for Missions, and realize the cost that has been paid. The many birthdays of my children that I have missed. The many holidays that I have celebrated in other countries, as opposed to being home. The many years of pouring all of our finances into the ministry, and not into a retirement fund.
