Many have left for the mission field in VFC, MANY.. I cannot even begin to count! But the place at which they were at when they entered the mission field is all very different. For example, some may have entered when they just got a job promotion but let it go to come for missions, or some maybe been through a horrible tragedy and then came for missions. Everyone's point in life when they entered the mission field is different. And it really determines the way how God moulds the person in the mission field. Of course, that is not the only determinant, but also what God wants to prepare for the future!
In many ways, have I seen how God is moulding me and it's been a really bumpy journey I must say but God is still so good. I still have to praise the Lord for His goodness! (: But I have to admit that at many times I would rather have Him give up on me because the process is too difficult for me to bear. It is not just a very painful process, but it is a very lonely one too. Sometimes it's long, sometimes it's so quick! But that's the only way to go if you want God to make you into such a beautiful masterpiece (: And sometimes we tell God, "God, hang on! Don't knock that out! Are you sure that that is an area that you want to remove?" and try to take control over His refining process. It takes alot of knocking here and there to remove rough edges but it's all just part of the preparation process for the greater things He has in store for the future! So if you are in that process right now, hang in there!! There is "rich fufillment" [From NKJV version - Psalm 66: 12] that will come your way at the end of it! (:
"He trained us first,
passed us like silver through refining fires,
Brought us into hardscrabble country,
pushed us to our very limit,
Road-tested us inside and out,
took us to hell and back;
Finally he brought us
to this well-watered place."
Psalm 66: 10 - 12 [Message Bible]
