Rick Ryan, my friend from Convoy of Hope spoke to us last Sunday. He related a story about a time when he was on an exasperating errand for his wife, when suddenly he was presented with an opportunity to minister to a young man. Without warning, Rick was given an opportunity to speak Christ into someone's life.
When we see ourselves as on mission, we realize that we do not "clock in" to our mission. Our ministry is 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, every day of the year. We don't pick it up when we enter the church, and we don't leave it in the car when we go on the golf course. We live it out and we have to be ready at any time.
When we are in 24/7 ministry, we are more concerned about the needs of others than we are our own comfort or preference. It is exciting, because it is dangerous. Eternities are in the balance. We can make a difference. 24/7.
