    I'm a father of three boys who leads adventures despite having a seminormal career and family life. I've hunted bears in Alaska, hiked portions of the Continental Divide Trail, the Appalachian Trail, and the Pacific Crest trail, as well as placed in several foosball and disc golf tournaments. I'm leading my boys to be lovers of God and lacking in timidity. I was born in Abilene, Texas.
  1. This question dovetails off my earlier post. If God closes a door, we need to move on and continuing seeking his will for us. However, we know that Satan wants to distract us and muddy our efforts at serving Him. In an effort to serve others and honor Jesus, I want to go abroad on medical missionary trips. I have the time and resources. However, I attempted to do this about 2 years ago and ultimately quit trying because I felt as thought God was closing the door for that at this point in my life. ( I had just added a newborn to my family of 2 boys, began coaching little league and joined a local church) Recently I felt the call again to attempt a medical missionary trip, but I don't want to be pushing my will over God's. Yet, I don't want to give up because the devil puts a few roadblocks up. Have you ever struggled with this question? I love to hear your input.
  2. Thanks for the help folks, I filled out the application for Samaritan's Purse and now am waiting for their response. If you have any personal experience of another medical missionary group, please let me know. I want to serve.
  3. Q thanks for the help. Sadly, this appears quite often. I will fill out an application, and then continue looking. "ONLINE VOLUNTEER APPLICATION ATTENTION NURSES: No placement opportunities for nurses are currently available. Your application will be kept on file and we will contact you when new opportunities for service arise." No worries, I will continue my search.
  4. Hey guys and gals, My name is Andy and I am a CRNA by trade (Certified Registered Nurse Anesthetist). I'm blessed with lots of vacation and want to take a medical missionary trip where I provide anesthesia for needy folks. The trouble is, I can't find a group to go with. Google is no help because I run across strange groups who seem more intent on getting money from me than me actually joining them. I grew up protestant, but I have no problem working with fellow Catholic Christians. I'm more than willing to pay for my own travel, lodging and food items. I just need a reputable group. If you have a church group or organization you'd recommend, please let me know. My time frame would be for next year, and I appreciate any and all help you can provide. thanks, Andy
  5. ok, so maybe my reading comprehension does leave a bit to be desired...
  6. I know as I study the bible I run across items I constantly overlook. I know I've read all of Matthew at least 5 times, and then last night, while reading a book about Heaven, BAM: I read where many holy people were resurrected at the same time as Jesus and came into Jerusalem. How many facts and statements have you noticed in a passage after having read it several times? I do it constantly, and my reading comprehension skills aren't lousy! Am I alone in this?
