Yesterday I was in chapel at college and they were talking about available short term missions that students can go on. One of them was to Figi, teaching, and witnessing to women that have been rescued from sex slavery.
I have been wondering where God has been calling me to missions, but yesterday I felt a tug on my heart when Figi and the mission to there was introduced. It was kind of weird because recently I had been wondering how I could get involved with helping people out of slavery/human trafficking and witnessing to those that were rescued, and then when the trip was introduced, it was one of the main focuses... For now, I'm trying to discern whether it was God calling me there, and I'm really hoping that he was.
My experience made me reflect on my mission trip to Western Samoa in 2010. I am not sure that I was really called to go on that trip, however, God definitely used that trip in awesome ways to transform and shape my life. I think God used that trip, not only to draw me closer to Him, but also to open up my heart to the people of the South Pacific, and show me that missions was where he wanted me.
For now I'll be praying about the Figi trip, and if you're reading this, please pray for me as well that God will make it clear to me what he wants with my life.
