Being missionary

It was Mission Sunday last weekend and the Catholic Mission Office was asking for donations to help the Catholic Church in Mongolia. I found out then that Mongolia is the youngest church, a mere 20 years old.

A video clip was shown and it highlighted the situation in Mongolia and more strikingly, the story of a middle-aged man and his family who were left homeless after a natural disaster. He and his family were taken in by the Church. He shared a phrase that is still echoing in my heart and mind, that he is at peace with God in his life.

I could not help but find myself humbled by his attitude, as I am struggling to find peace in the midst of my current situation. I seem to search for things that will grant me this peace but God is the only person that can provide the peace that will satisfy.

As I part with a small donation that day, I am thankful that this person from Mongolia has reached out to me through that video. I continue to seek God in all things and hopefully learn to appreciate the peace that only He can give.
