About
In April 2006 God gave me an unexpected dream in my sleep. I have been struggling lately with God’s calling on my life. I know I am called to be a missionary, and have dedicated my life to do everything in my power to fulfill the Great Commission as soon as possible. I want to go to another country and be a witness to people of other cultures, especially those who have never heard God’s message. While I know this will be a large part of my ministry, my current life sometimes seems at odds with that desire/calling. I am blessed with my beautiful wife Keisha, daughter Eden, Justus who is a handful and handsome, and Aaron Silas (probably the cutest baby ever). God has also blessed me with a great job, and a house. But I’ve been wondering what I can do now for missions.
With all this going on in my head and discussions about it with my wife, I just went on with everyday life. Work, home/family, and church. You know the drill. I really didn’t even pray about it much, because it would just frustrate me. Then out of the blue God gave me a dream.
In my dream I asked God what I could do to help further the Great Commission in my current life situation. And He told me, plain as day, exactly what to do. He gave me an idea to create a website that would help missionaries do their job more effectively and easily, by providing training and the latest technology to them. The mission statement is:
Dedicated to enabling missionaries and their supporters to more effectively reach the last of the lost by providing instruction on a Biblical and strategic view of missions, and by making the latest technologies accessible and affordable to every missionary.
My mentor and pastor, John Musser, once talked about Christians and their callings. He said that until you get a specific, detailed, and directed vision for your personal life/ministry, you should serve selflessly under a different ministry. When you are faithful there, God in His timing will give you direction and a calling for your life. Keisha and I are so excited to be in that phase right now, finally knowing exactly what to do in this moment. We believe that MissionsPlace.com will be the launching point of our life ministry in missions.
In Christ,
Aaron Edwards
