Last week (August 14) It had officially been nine years since the first time the Lord brought me to Saint Vincent.

I spent that first morning sitting on the porch of my hotel room and enjoying the scenery

If I could go back to August 14 2015 for one minute I’d tell myself too things.

It’s going to be hard

But it will be worth it

Missions (and all kinds of ministry) is difficult because your on the front lines of spiritual warfare. There will be trials, failures, and lots of problems to fix! But the joy and fulfillment that comes from enduring that hardship faithfully is well worth the pain.

Far too many of us take the easy road in life (myself included).

But the hard road is where we find God’s presence.

I can’t promise the road God has for you will be easy friend.

But I can promise it’s worth it.
