	<description>People ask us why we would throw away our lives as missionaries.  Because God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son.  Because God is not willing that any should perish.  Because God is no respecter of persons.  It’s all because God.</description>

		<description><![CDATA[I believe every Christian ought take a trip to the mission field at least once in his/her lifetime.  Like the apostles post-Pentecost, God wants us to get out there and see a world that desperately needs Him.  And if we see that need with our own eyes, then maybe we'll be convinced that God wants us to get personally involved in the missionary enterprise.  <a href="http://becausegod.wordpress.com/2010/01/01/livingstones-travels-xv/">Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&#8594;</span></a><img alt="" border="0" src="http://stats.wordpress.com/b.gif?host=becausegod.wordpress.com&amp;blog=10638526&amp;post=174&amp;subd=becausegod&amp;ref=&amp;feed=1" width="1" height="1" />]]></description>
