Calling

We had a timely lecture on 'the missionary call' the other day. Turns out that the call to tell people of all nations about Jesus and to teach them and help them mature is a call made to the whole church. We must all be involved; we have only to work out what our individual role should be. On the whole the Bible does not record people receiving an extra supernatural call - rather, they are appointed and commissioned by the church. This is been good for me to see as I haven't had any sort of supernatural calling - and yet, because he is in control of the details of our everyday lives, I have seen God ordering small and bigger things so that I might go.
