Week 19
What's more important in ministry, your family's salvation or people's salvation? Ha! I wish that could be one of those easy answers with a "both." Is it worth saving the whole world and then having your wife and kids gone astray into the world? (“Nenhum sucesso na vida compensa o fracasso do lar.”) Last week I met a missionary couple in their 50’s, I guess. They always had a passion for missionary work but decided to postpone it. Their first priority was raising their children in the ways of the Lord. When the empty nest came, they started missionary work in several missionary fields. Was it worth missing the prior of their years at home and living a regular life? Family is a mission field, too.
