I put a lot into singing as a child and teenager. I took voice lessons and learned to sing operas. However, that was not the path that God had in mind. Little did I know that his plans for me would be taking me to sing on dirt road paths in hidden places in small little churches with tin roofs, dirt floors and wooden benches. In the end, I think I got a better gig than Amy Grant. What JOY to see Jesus and his work in the small, hidden places.
And as missionaries on this little island I have met so many Unsung Heroes. Some of them built a small classroom for our missions students in the DR. It isn’t state of the art but we made sure that there was room for the black board and maybe even a projector.
And I watched those walls go up and I thought of all the world changers that would sit in that room. I could just imagine their Great Commision dreams being formed in that little classroom. Some of them will reach the Muslim world, some will go to jungles, some may plant underground churches in China. And they will be unsung Heroes, no one will know their name. But oh the names that will be in the book of Life!
