For some people God's "call" is an audible voice with a distinct purpose or plan, for some its a "feeling" deeply rooted in your heart, for some its a spiritual vision of a heavenly painted picture SO detailed that there's no question it came from God, and for some, for My husband and I it's a hunger.
This "hunger" isn't a pain that exists in your stomach, its not something your favorite food can satisfy, it's so much deeper than that. This "hunger" lives in a place I can only define with words as our soul, the inner-most fiber of our being, like somewhere its woven into our DNA, a part of us.
"Why London?" well, that's a really good question, a question my husband and I often asked ourselves. We knew we had a hunger for missions but we didn't know where it was going to take us, and while praying for an answer we often caught ourselves praying for certain cities WE wanted God to take us to, places WE wanted to go ( oops) but how many of you know it's not up to US.
London didn't come to us audibly ( although I admit it would have been nice) London just kind of fell in place. Without even trying doors to London just started opening and people started contacting Network 21 Missions (which is the organization we are going through) and after praying about it we couldn't be more sure that London IS the place God wants us to be. Matthew 28:19 says " Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit," and how fitting that London is the leading global city, a world cultural capital. The world's most visited city as measured by international arrivals with the most diverse range of peoples and cultures with more than 300 languages spoken. London may just be one city but if we can lead this one city to the One true God the World will hear about it. So, " Why London?" .....WHY NOT?
