What are your goals and aspirations? Are you interested in attending a particular university? Pursuing a particular career? Marrying a certain person and raising a family? These are all wonderful goals to pursue. But you know, I think it’s also important to set goals when it comes to reaching your world. How do you aspire to be used by God to bring others to Him? Do you feel called to a particular ministry or place? I’ve always felt a call to bring the Good News to China.

I remember when I was a 5- or 6-year-old boy, my mom praying for China.  I read all I could about China.  It seemed absurd that I’d ever make it to China.  But finally in the year 2000 we landed in China.  God is using thousands and thousands to bless China with the Good News.  And He also used me.  Isn’t that amazing?  Since I was a boy I’d been praying and God answered that prayer. 

So I challenge you today. Perhaps you aren’t called to China. Maybe you’re called to your neighborhood or city. But wherever you are and whatever it is, prayerfully consider setting goals for reaching your world. You’ll never regret intentionally pursuing evangelism in your everyday life - I can assure you it’s the very best use of our time on this earth that there could ever be.
