Work where God has called you and nowhere else! On the other hand.... If you keep being faithful to God where you are I won't be surprised if He moves you on to Uzbekistan! Jared, sounds like you are doing it right to me. Work where God has called you and nowhere else! On the other hand….

I don't feel "called" there right now, but I consider my life a mission. I live out the example of the gospel, and I teach/speak/witness when it is called for (sometimes with great frequency, others not with such frequency). I'm in a "field" right now, with my God-given scythe, watering can and seed bag sowing, watering and harvesting as the situation calls. My field isn't in India or Uzbekistan or the Czech Republic. It is right here. Shouldn't we not be working for the harvest like a missionary, no matter where God has placed us?
