wanted to give up and quit . It ’ s been tough at times and raw . Life is raw . No matter

where you are . Whether you are a missionary in Africa , Asia , or in your own backyard , it ’ s just hard and raw . And that ’ s ok . Its life and it makes us long for heaven , and helps us remember that we are not here long .

I guess what I want to say in this article is that you can be a missionary wherever you are . Because believe me , just moving across the ocean or close to one doesn ’ t change you , and make you magically braver to talk to people about Christ , or even to live your life any better or different . You need to start right where you are . You can be a missionary now . And remember its quality , not quantity . It ’ s better to have a one deep relationship than ten shallow ones . ( That isn ’ t from the Bible , that ’ s just my humble opinion .)

I hope you enjoyed a small peak into our lives . If you have a vision for cities let us know — we may need help in the thrift store !
