The Hole in Our Gospel

I got the book The Hole In Our Gospel by Richard Stearns from World Vision. I feel like God is preparing me for something related to service and ministry. A few years ago, through books I obtained and through sermons and other areas, I felt like God was leading me into something related to leadership. I look at my life now, and see that in work and at Church. In the same way, I've been drawn towards areas of outreach service and ministry; and recently, have come across so many different things that point me in that direction, that I do think that I am in the preparation phase. Not only does this book address that directly, but, I also watched "The Second Chance" movie that Michael W Smith was in, and in my areas of giving, I've been drawn more towards organizations that provide outreach and relief, such as World Vision and Samaritan's Purse. I will wait and see what God has planned for me. My desire is that He will use me effectively for His work; and to show His LOVE to others.
