Kandace Rather's Mission Perspective

Not all missions experiences are overseas. Kandace shares how she is a part of something more local.

She writes, "Are you familiar with Treasure Hunts? It's something we have been doing here in Joplin for over one year now. It's seeing your own community as your mission field...going out, finding the "treasure" that God sends you out to find. Before we go, we pray and ask the Lord to give us clues for our treasure map....when we go out, there is hardly ever a time that we are not amazed the preciseness of what He has shown us. One in particular is a young woman who felt like the Lord showed her a yellow submarine. Later that night, her team starts ministering to a lady at Walgreens and come to find out this lady has a yellow submarine tattooed on her arm. There are so many stories like this. We also have healing teams who are going out and seeing people healed instantly and more important, getting saved. Most of the teams are young adults....it's glorious!" 

I love hearing about the exciting things that happen when we trust God. I also love Kandace's perspective on reaching out right where she is, right now. We can be God's hands and feet. We can do God's work right in our own hometowns
