The Path of the Warrior

Ever since I was growing up as a child I have always been surrounded by the ideals and experiences of overseas missions.  My mom along with most of my aunts were all born on the mission field.  My Grandpa is practically a veteran in the missions community, so I have always been in that kind of environment where missions is in the air.  The idea of being on the front lines of the Kingdom of God was very appealing to me.  And over several different circumstances on my walk in life I have been lead me to a place where I feel God has been waiting to bring me.  I remember about three times before that I have looked into getting into the mission field.  Nothing ever stuck out or looked like it was right for me.  Now though, through Operation Mobilization I have found what I have been looking for.  OM has a ship that they use to minister to the different forts in Europe.  They provide medicine, books, and education to these different ports.  In September I am attending a conference for OM and then the following September I plan on going to the front lines.  Prayers would greatly be appreciated as I have never gone this far from what I know.  All I really know is that I will have to trust God the whole way.
