It is so encouraging to know that after many struggles concerning many groups who tried to reform the church, there were some people who became on fire in spreading the love of Christ. They were called the missionaries. The truth had indeed touch the hearts of these missionaries to reach people so that they could also hear the word of God. I was just really thinking what if there was no reformation, do the people who do not hear even the word Jesus would know him? Perhaps but in different manner. Since at first the Catholic church taught the people differently about Jesus. Thanks to the missionaries who were used by God as instrument to reach people for Christ including us. One thing that really build up me is the life of William Carey who was known to be the "Father of Modern Missions". I think his life would also inspire other people especially those who wanted to become missionaries. I can't imagine how he continued despite of the circumstances he faced but then he never let those hinder to serve God.
The lives of the missionaries before which were discussed in this course gave me an assurance that God will really use me. Just like them, I know that they offered their life to God to be used by him and so he they were brought by God to different places apart from their homes. The lives of these missionaries gave me excitement for the things that are yet to come when God will use for the expansion of his kingdom.
I have fear in my heart right now knowing that I will graduate soon and not knowing where to go. But then, I always put in my mind to be flexible so that whenever God calls to go me it will be easy for me to respond.
