Going for his kingdom

Everyoneโ€™s call to serve God is different. Kay, serving in a Creative Access Nation, shares how he called her. For security reasons, emails avoid or disguise certain key words, but we trust you know whatโ€™s being said.

โ€˜Iโ€™ve had a desire and interest in M-work since childhood and after graduating and, working for a couple of years as a nurse, a profession which I love, I felt Dad leading me towards work overseas. I felt inadequate โ€“ โ€˜What did I have to offer?โ€™ At least here I could offer my nursing qualification and skills.

โ€œG0d showed me my desire first and foremost must be for his kingdom.โ€

As I started to look into opportunities and pr@y, I felt G0d challenging my motives: โ€˜Kay, why are you going? Are you going to nurse? What good is addressing physical needs without addressing eternal needs and separation from G0d?โ€™ I began to question my motives and even my calling. During this time I realised nursing could only ever be a tool, never a reason for going. G0d showed me my desire first and foremost must be for his kingdom. As a result, I was drawn to organisations which have a strong emphasis on the unreached. However, I still felt so inadequate for the task; if I was going to do this G0d was going to have to equip me. In answer, he provided T!MO and I have spent the last year and a half, not nursing but English teaching and, more importantly, learning about and experiencing how to reach the lost and see his kingdom grow.โ€™
