Mission - should I go?

Hi,

I've recently been invited to go on mission to Spain with a group from my church at home. I'm a bit uncertain as to whether I should go and I have to give a reply by tomorrow!

I'm hesitating mostly because my faith has just come out of a real low point and I don't want to pull the mission back in anyway should I have a 'relapse'. My other friends who are going have spent most of the last year in very secure Christian environments, and have been branching out and growing in the Lord. In contrast, I've been in a highly stressful secular environment and have felt like I was under constant spiritual attack which I've had to face without the support I took for granted at home. I really want to serve the Lord, but I feel a bit like if I went on mission my focus might be on building up my own spiritual strength through spending such an intense time with people who are really on fire for God, than on the mission we actually sent out to do.

Furthermore, because I'm currently pretty broke, my church has offered to contribute part of the costs so that I can go. I don't feel I can accept the money if I go partly out of the desire to build up my own faith, but without it, I am not sure I could find the money to go anyway.


Help! What should I do?!

Father, guide J in their decision and bring them into a closer walk with You so that they do not 'relapse'! Holy Spirit I release You in their life and heart to bring them into a close and intimate relationship with Jesus. Show them the love of the Father and erase all fear from their mind. In the Name of Jesus! AMEN!
