Thoughts from Betty Draper

Betty and her husband Ace are missionaries in PNG and serve the missionaries there through organization/administration and encouragement. We had breakfast with this couple and they will be returning to PNG this Friday. They have been serving there for years and their daughter is actually a tribal church planter with the Shontere's among the Yembi Yembi people in PNG. Anyhow we were talking about global ministry and how global ministry includes the states and these were some of her thoughts about how she decided where she would go serve the Lord in her life.

"People ask me all the time in reference to me and my husband going
overseas, "When were you called to be a missionary?" and my response is "No, I
am commanded to be a missionary and I am called to be his helpmate".

I think her point was to say that God calls us all to do different things. We do the things he calls us to and he would never ask us to do anything that contradicts what His word asks us to do. So, as a result, God calls her husband to a place, and God calls her to be his helpmate and basically support and encourage her husband. Wherever this may be, makes her a missionary. We are all called to be a missionary... across the street and across the globe.
