Heeding the Call
Keith and Suzanne Powell are parents whose son participated in the Pac Rim 2 IWC project this summer.
A few years ago, our son, Aaron, told us that he felt God was calling him into full-time missionary service. As a kicker on his high school football team at the time, he was recruited to play football in college. Soon after he arrived on the college campus, however, God renewed His missionary call and Aaron realized he could no longer ignore his true purpose in life. He left football behind and signed up to participate in the IMB IWC mission trip to south Asia this summer as an individual participant.
He returned from the project a new man—you could hear in his voice his excitement when he talked about his experiences. What a difference his willingness to listen to God has made in his life! He came home confident, passionate, and excited that God gave him a wake-up call - a second chance. He has now shared his experiences in a number of our church's classes and worship services. In addition, he is counting the days until he can sign up on September 1st for another project for next summer.
We are grateful as parents that Aaron was able to experience being on mission and even more grateful to know our son has a clear understanding of God's call on his life and is following that call.
