God has a place of service for every one of you. No one is exempt. No one is too old, too poor, or too tired. God put you into His kingdom and now he expects you to serve.
God has a mission for you! God has a tremendous purpose for you. He saved you to use to bring glory to Himself, to be on a mission for God.
Philip is a wonderful example of a man on a mission. Philip was used by God to set a city on fire. He was used by God to lead a black man from Ethiopia to salvation. He was used by God to push the gospel message into places it had never been before.
