SQ: If you were hopping on a plane tomorrow with an open ticket, where would you go take the gospel?
JADE SAYS:
For the last few years, God has been increasing my ache for Haiti. So, if I were to head off tomorrow, I’d probably head in that direction, unless He said otherwise:-)
NATHAN SAYS:
I think I would have to respond by asking if I could spend all tonight in prayer and let you know in the morning on the way to the airport. There are so many places I long to go but the last couple years my heart has been burdened for South America, so my guess would be a leading in that direction - but I'm open to wherever Jesus wants to spill and spend my life!

RICH SAYS:
I would go to Africa. The people there are open to the gospel message.
AIDS, war, extreme poverty and political oppression are terrible things, but
when people live with these as a daily reality, they respond to a message of
hope and good news..
ERIC AND BEN SAY:
Well....since Eric and I are currently in Indonesia, AND we do have a plane ticket for tomorrow (at least when I am writing this), we feel very strongly that God is calling us to head to the harsh environs of Windsor, CO to herald the gospel! In all honesty God has been truly magnificent in this week long excursion to Indonesia. We've seen the truth of the Gospel applied, and as a result the men of this country are rising up. There was a deep resonance with the message of Christ-built masculinity. It has truly been a beautiful week of ministry!
ANNIE SAYS:
I know that every single one of us on staff would answer something along the lines of "wherever God nudged me, I'd go". And that's true of my heart as well, but I will also say that God has undoubtably cultivated a deep love and passion to see the country of Haiti become HIS. So this is most likely where my "nudge" would send me.
SANDI SAYS:
I cannot seem to readily answer this question for the answer is one that takes time in prayer, seeking the direction of God to know where He would lead me. And I have not been praying recently about where God would want to send me because I am certain I am where He wants me to be for now! :)
"O LORD, I know that the way of man [is] not in himself: [it is] not in man that walketh to direct his steps." - Jeremiah 10:23
LESLIE SAYS:
It would probably be a tie between Haiti and Liberia - not sure why but those two places have been on my heart a lot in the past few years!
