He’s been pursuing opportunities in so many countries. So many opportunities are there. Gary has been busy in many African countries over the last few years, with many projects ready to start. But what holds them back?

I remember when I asked Gary about this… He had said that we just didn’t have enough people to launch many of these projects.

“Why don’t more people come to Africa?” I remember asking, seeing the great lack of laborers. His answer surprised me somehow.

“Many people are afraid of Africa. They see the starvation and violence in the news.” He mentioned fear of the animals too.

These are certainly things I can see people could be scared of. But the God we serve… He’s the same God that shut the lions mouths, He’s the same God that protected David when he was being pursued by Saul, and He’s the same God that sent Jonah to Nineveh. Let’s not be like Jonah… If God is calling you to go somewhere, go! If He’s calling you to somewhere scary, go! If He’s calling you to somewhere hard, go! God is faithful. He will always give us the power and grace to fulfill His command. Don’t doubt His promises!

“Go your ways: behold, I send you forth as lambs among wolves.” Luke 10:3
