Today as I'm back here at the office I'm thinking and meditating on "doing your best" a little bit. You know, there's such a joy in doing your very best and laying down that extra little effort into every day work. Then the every day work suddenly becomes something special and not so "every day"... Does this make sense? The Bible says: Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men... Col 3:23. Whether you are working at a department store, a bank, a hospital, a church or are out as a missionary, always work at it with all your heart. You are working for the Lord, not men.
A couple of weeks ago I was getting ready to start a bigger project and I just didn't feel like it at all... A good friend that was here visiting then said: Martina; think about the thousands of dollars that this might generate for the unreached people groups! And when I did that, it suddenly wasn't boring anymore... Whatever you do, do it with excellence as you are serving the Lord. Everything we do in Mission SOS all comes down to this:
This is why we keep on going, there's a world dying without Jesus and the love for Jesus and these people is what keeps me going; and guess what? It's a fabulous life!!!

About The Almqvists
Hi, my name is Peter Almqvist and I am a minister of help. I work with setting up large outdoor evangelistic festivals all around the world, primarily in Africa. Currently we are on what we are calling the African Capital City Tour, or ACCT for short. We preach the gospel to those that have not heard or have yet to respond. The cry of the lost has been heard and we are responding to their SOS.
