Soli Deo Gloria

I once heard, "The reward for serving God is serving God."

When asked about "leaving the benefits of England" for missions in Africa, David Livingstone replied that he never made a sacrifice. Instead, he considered it a "privilege" of being "appointed to such an office." In view of my upcoming mission to Bangladesh, I pray that my team and I will also take on our calling as an utmost reward in itself.

And may the first words from our mouths when we arrive back at the airport not be stories about the fun we had, or the foods we tried, or even what we got out of the trip spiritually, but may our lips simply utter, "Soli Deo Gloria."
