7 Reasons “why I want to take part in Mission Impossible 7 project”

1. God calls me to this.
2. I have the desire to take part in this project.
3. I think that I can serve God through this project.
4. I think God will work through me in this project.
5. My friends take part in this project.
6. I think that I can put something in this project.
7. I think that I can receive a lot of spiritual blessings.

Where can I find these seven hundred words?

I can think of something. For example I can tell some interesting story… or to testify about something…

So everything started in 2001 when the idea appeared to start such a project. At first this project seemed to be too impossible for me. But I really wanted to take part in something that seemed to be interesting though impossible. Besides many of my friends participated in this project, I also wanted to challenge myself. So the ending of the its first stage – I mean the stage of raising money – stroke me. We were going to raise money for at least one person. Then it was a huge sum of money. At the end of the first stage we raised enough money to send two participants of the project to minister in Africa. But eventually everything was even more grandiose. It was enough money to send four people!!! For me personally the trip had less effect than the process of raising money. In fact that stage of the project which seemed to me (and not only to me) impossible, was over, we had done it. Wow!!! It left an impression in my heart that there is nothing impossible with God. I’ll be honest till that very day I wasn’t sure God could do it… The situation was odd: I believed God, I knew He was omnipotent, but in my human mind I built limits for Him and didn’t believe that He could do it. I didn’t believe that He could do it for me personally!

In 2003 I also took part in the project. I had firm confidence that if God wants me to go to Africa again – I wouldn’t have insuperable obstacles. So when there were no obstacles on the way, big inner struggle started to change my spiritual conscience. I began to understand that when God removed barriers, He gave me opportunity to serve Him. Not simply serve Him but be His messenger. I want to be a person, who proclaims God’s grace to people. I realized that if God, God Himself, sends me to minister, I don’t have the right to say “no”, then He breaks down the obstacles. God will always fulfill His part of obligations.

I missed 2004 and 2005 because of different circumstances.

And so in 2006 rather lazy without a specific ministry I received God’s calling. I got scared a little bit. I wasn’t missioning for a while. Still I realized that if God calls who I am to say “no” to Him. I really was afraid and I didn’t understand why he needed me. And the most important: why me? Aren’t there people who are more worthy and more prepared? God’s response to that was: “There are those who are more worthy and more prepared. But I am choosing you!” And for real if I disobeyed God at that time, then how many blessings I would have missed! Summer camp was a great blessing. I haven’t felt that I am young for a long time. I haven’t felt needed by people for a long time. I haven’t served the Lord with full commitment for a long time.

Then I went to Africa and received so many blessings there. It is wonderful and splendid – to serve the Lord!!! Many new friends. Many testimonies. Many blessings.

So 2007 comes. I want to serve the Lord this year as well. I want Him to use me if there is His holy will. Most likely I won’t go to Africa this year. Still I will participate in ‘Mission Impossible 7’ project, even if my part is praying about it.

I don’t know what to expect but I’m ready to rely on Him fully, to rely on His wisdom, to listen to everything He is saying to me. I expect God fulfill miracle in my life, I hope He will reveal something that I haven’t seen before and will help to use it for His glory.

I think my experience from previous projects will be useful. God knows everything. He didn’t send me earlier in vain, did He? That is why I’m looking forward to the project and try to serve God.

I think that seven reasons of my participation in the project may be expressed in one. “God is calling me to do it”.

And the rest has the less significance. Even my personal desire doesn’t matter if God calls or orders to stay… God is always right – that’s the fact.
