The thought of another four and one half hours on the trail clouds my mind with doubt and just for a moment I wonder if this mission stuff in Papua New Guinea is worth it. Can I do this I ask myself as pain wraps my body much like being on a torture rack in some castle of days gone by? The words from Paul&rsquo;s lips encourage me; we can do all things through Christ who gives us strength, Lord I need that strength now. <\/p>\n<p>The joy of serving the Lord in Papua New Guinea soon clears the doubt and once again my body prepares for what lays a head. As I stand up and walk off I realize being in the center of God&rsquo;s will is the most exciting journey a man can walk even though the body cries, you have gone to far this time. <br \/>. <\/p>\n<p>Is it worth it? You bet it is, and I am not only willing to get a bit tired out here. I am ready to die if that&rsquo;s what it takes to get the gospel message to the people of Papua New Guinea. We need a few good men and women, could you help? For more information on missions look up &ldquo;Go ye&rdquo;, in the Bible and let the Holy Spirit show you God&rsquo;s plan for the gospel message and how that plan can reshape your life as it has mine.
