Getting Started...
The greatest journey begins with the first step. If the first step is not taken then even smallest journey will be started. The old adage "the way to hell is paved with good intentions" is also true for many who were called by the Lord to serve Him in missions, but never got around to taking the first step. Jesus is calling, "Come" even as He did to Peter to join Him in a water walking experience. All 12 disciples were in the boat, but only Peter dared to obey the Masters call. Is He calling you – Is it time you make the first step?
