deployed.

We were at a Youth Leader’s Conference the first weekend we were in Swaziland and one of the leaders said something that completely struck me and I just had to steal it. The youth leader’s name is Musa and he is an incredibly person. Musa loves Jesus and he is on fire for God and he is impacting Swaziland in a mighty way through True Love Waits and in so many other ways. He was giving the closing/encouraging statements to the conference. And he said that we are about to be deployed into the field. He said that when troops are deployed they are focused on a mission and have a specific purpose. They all work together for a common goal and they work together as a team. Nothing stands in their way. They make decisions based on what’s good for everyone involved. They are focused on saving the innocent people and are determined to make the situation resolved. He said that is exactly what we are doing as Christians being commanded by Jesus to make disciples. We are deployed out onto the mission field to change the beliefs about AIDS, to tell people about the Gospel, and to make disciples of Swaziland. We are going. We are deployed by the power of God. And we are called to do this wherever we are. “God’s design for taking the Gospel to the world is a slow, intentional, simple process that involves every one of His people sacrificing every facet of their lives to multiply the life of Christ in others.”- David Platt, Radical. Christians need to realize that God has deployed each and every one of us to make His great name known throughout the world. And anything less is disobedience.
