Hello family and friends,
As a continuation of my last email chain:
After ESOAL, there was another LTE (Life Transforming Event) called the Fasting LTE. The Fasting LTE was about three days long, and consisted of a fast from food and communication. The purpose of the Fasting LTE is to seek God, specifically regarding your calling. What is my purpose? Well, there’s a simple answer for that and a complicated answer. The simple answer is that the purpose of life is to glorify God, with the side benefit of enjoying His presence. The complicated answer is different for everyone. How do I fit into God’s plan?
Some are Goers – essentially missionaries. Some are Senders – people who give money so that the Goers can go. Some are Mobilizers – people who equip others with the skills and enthusiasm to fulfill their role. Others are Intercessors – people who pray, and pray, and pray, essentially being a missionary, but at home base.
Everyone has a part to play. Everyone is important. 1 Corinthians 12:20
I am a Sender Mobilizer. That means that my primary purpose is to give sacrificially to fund mission work, and my secondary purpose is to incite people to fulfill their calling. I also believe that I am going to be some level of Intercessor, but that has not been revealed to me yet. My vocation, specifically, is in the area of Computer Science. I am going to be an expert in Technology and I am going to use those skills to help others leverage their time better and more productively.
I hope that by some means I may provoke you to seek the Lord for your specific purpose. Many of you know yours. Many don’t. Look to God, and submit yourself to whatever He wants you to do. While you are waiting, get involved volunteering at your local church. It doesn’t matter where. If, after you persevere for a season, a specific spot just does not fit, then move to another spot. But serve the Lord and open your heart to His call.
Until next time,
Ryan
