I think when I first listed this as a goal, my idea of what a “missionsry” was is significantly different than how I see it now. I have been on several short term mission trips – on several continients, but I have also lived in several different cultures within North America. Each place there are adaptations and changes to make in how we minister to others. Now I am a pastor in a small town in Alberta, only a few hours from where I gre up, but I am a missionary to the community in which my church is situated in. It is a neat shift in context and perspective for me!
