me and missions

Last week was the mission emphasis week in my school, ended with exhibition and performances in the international nite, where the Indonesian students presented "Sik Sik Si Batumanikam" in 4 parts acapella with dancing I learned from Unpar Choir ^_^

but that's not what I'm going to write right now...
the thing is..

I felt it again..
the touch..
the calling..

along the 4-day messages during the chapel time, I kept recalling my previous calling into mission, in the National Students Camp 2003. (gosh!! it's been 6 years now!!! and I still haven't gone to ANY mission field!)
There were few times I had planned to go for missions, but somethings just came out and made me have to cancel the plannings...
and those "somethings" were also important "local" ministries... :-?

So, I started to pray again for going into short-term missions.
Few choices I have in mind right now...
I'm interested to go with the SMF (SBC Mission Fellowship), which always has a mission trip at the end of every semester.
I also found "Serving in Mission", and organization that support missions and arrange for short-term mission trips.
The last choice I can think of is the most reachable one, it is in my own country, joining the ministry of a church in Yogyakarta, and I can go for 2 weeks-1month, basically up to me... ^_^

well, when I see all of these choices,
the harvests are really plenty..!!!
As His labor, would I go for Him??


As a start, I took the privilege to be a prayer-partner of a friend who is going to a mission in India in May :)
He is going to visit our other friend's hometown in India for two weeks, so it is arranged that he will give some training or workshops for the pianists, and maybe the choir in the local church there.

hmm... I envied him when he first told me about his planning..
but I realized, my time hasn't come yet..
I still have a lot to be prepared,
heart, knowledge, skills, and of course.. financial..
hmm...
keep praying on it!!! ^^

Here I am, Lord
I will go, Lord, if You lead me...
