Vivienne: The Missionary

  ‘I left the meeting knowing that God had called me to work abroad...‘From everyone who has been given much, much will be demanded...’ (Luke 12:48). I knew God had given me much - new life in Christ and the benefits of a good education. For a while I struggled but when I told God I was willing to do what Mary was going to do [work with lepers], I found that he did not require this from me, but he wanted my willingness... I had Muslim and Hindu friends in the college and I knew that it was hard to influence Muslims. Somehow this drew me to Muslims and I recognized God’s calling to the Muslim world. I wanted to see what the living God would do for Muslims.’ ‘I began as a missionary from the West. I became a missionary from the East and I ended up a world Christian.’
