Willing to face rejection, willing to fight the fight of faith, I'm willing to give up my reputation, willing to put aside fears, I tell doubt to go in Jesus' name, I am led by the Spirit.
Willing to place my deepest desires at the cross, to fight the fight of faith, I shod my feet with the good news of peace, laying down all dissention and picking of the Sword of the Spirit. Willing to give up pride, to give up propriety and pick up the cross that was given me.
I'm willing,
Willing to say YES, no looking backwards, to forgive, to let go of shame, to let go of pride, and grab ahold of the thing that God has placed in my hands.
I'm willing...willing to take the harder road, to join the journey towards treasure in Him, treasure that can be found nowhere else. I'm willing to put my heart in His hands.
I'm willing, willing to tread a new path, a different one from those I've previously traveled, willing by the grace of God to commit, for I commit myself wholly to Him who has stamped me upon His heart. His way, not my own, this is the path I will follow.
I trust Him to mark the trees in the wilderness, leading me through the wild woods and the uncommon trail. His love to keep me from all harm, from all weeds, from all danger.
I'm willing. Willing to say Yes. I say YES to Him and to all He has directed. His guidance forever leading me.
I dare to take this road. I join with him. I believe, I believe.
Lord, I'm willing...Forsaking all others, I have chosen you. Lead me to your "Yesses"

All of us unto ALL the WORLD
This means, ...
We start with who is around us.
-Offer a kind word to the man on the street corner
-Bring a cup of coffee to a co-worker going through a tough season
-Pray for a distressed neighbor, friend, family member.
-Go out of your way to meet a new person, greet them with a smile and ask about their story.
-Allow God to shine through you in your day by serving, going above and beyond and being sensitive.
We continue to those outside our normal day to day encounters. Continue because it brings growth, continue because it is God's will that all know Him.
-Participate in an evangelism event.
-Use your gifting to minister in a nursing home. (music, preaching, encouragement, praying, pre-approved gifts, listening ear/being a friend.)
-Take note of shelters in your area and meet a need of the shelter.
-Organize a group to go pray for the sick in an ER, pray and fellowship with people waiting to get into a shelter.
-Mentor a young person in the faith, encouraging their walk.
-Step out in faith in your community, at your church, and be an active participant, not a spectator.
Some will travel out of state or overseas....
-Bringing a word in its appointed season is rich Prov 25:11 "like apples of gold set in silver"
-We must bring the good news given to us by Jesus Christ to all people ... for how will they believe unless they have heard? Romans 10:14
-A call will be confirmed and being called, some will just have to go.
My prayer for all reading this, is that you would take this "ALL" VERY PERSONAL, for I was aiming it at YOU. My prayer is that you would add your ideas, and act on them. I also am challenged to step out in faith in my community, knowing it is a fruit that is eternal!
My personal prayer is that all the world might know Him and that God in his good pleasure would choose to use me. To use me here...with the clients I work with every day, AND to use me there in another country. My whole life I have longed for nothing else than to go and I have felt His call. However, now I will live out this calling here, until He should send me again,....
That all may know Jesus Christ.
