I Get to Serve Christ as a Missionary
 |
By Andy Raatz
I feel as if I've won the lottery.
I get to serve Christ in Moldova.
As I drove back from a small village this week, swerving around potholes and squinting through the fog, my mind fixated on how fortunate I am to serve in this country. I detest the concept that I am sacrificing, but smile at the thought of being blessed.
Earlier that day, I chatted with an old married couple of 89 and 86 years of age. My new friend fought in World War II, but on a different front. I saw their tiny home, heard their stories and talked to them about Christ.
As we handed bags of groceries to the neediest in the village of Baraboi, I joked with people who had spent their entire life in that village. I prayed with an old woman who still doesn't know Christ, but is concerned for her sick daughter.

I am in debt to my good friends and colleagues John and Glenda Harris for having sent me the book “The Waiting Father: Sermons on the Parables of Jesus” by Helmut Thielicke. I want to share a quote with you today, because it’s so pertinent to our spiritual well-being. Thielicke says,
“The man who lets his day grow recklessly and blindly, that is, the man who does not begin his day by talking with God before he goes on to the thousands of words, written and oral, which he must speak to men, that man grows rotten, both physically and nervously. And what has been called “executive’s disease,” the symptoms of which are ulcers and heart attacks, is often only a symptom of these deeper disorders in the soil of our life.”
How often has this happened in our own lives? In order to expedite the responsibilities of the day, we sometimes leave home without the most important aspect of our life, which is, of course, consulting with God about all those responsibilities and duties we have to perform in the course of the day. It is generally counterproductive, because we end up spending more time correcting errors we have made when we proceed without divine orders.
