I just read shaunas testomony on how she knew she was called to become a missionary and was inspired to write this:
I understand that call. When I was nine years old, I was at church. They played some Billy Graham movie that I can't remmeber. Anyway, it was about I think three missionaries in different places and reporters going and reporting on their work. I didn't know where at the time God would have me go. When I got old enough, I went on mission trips. I saw many people who had nothing, but were happy because they had Jesus. I saw little kids run after our trash when our group left a town. The treated it like it was the best stuff. Those trips made me more on fire for the Lord and made me renew my commitment to missions. After high school, I went to a Bible College in Tennessee and majored in missions. There I also got a certificate in TESOL.(Teaching English to Speakers of other Languages.) After college, I decided to spend a year in Asia. There I taught English as a Second Language for one year. It was awesome. God set me on fire for these people. Its been five years ago since I came back, but I"m still in contact through internet with a couple of my friends from there. To make a long story short. Since then, I have gotten my master's degree in TESOL. I have also gotten married. Now I live in Florida and teach in two colleges. I teach many people English from all over the world. I am not doing exactly what I thought I'd be doing, but I know God is using me and for that I am happy.
As it is said in Jerimiah about plans that he has for us not to harm us but for us. Our God is a good God. There are so many people who need him!
In Him,
Danni
