What if?

I have been asked to speak during a commissioning service on June 15th. We are sending a couple from our church into the ministry. They have been accepted to Baptist Mid Missions as short term missionaries. They are not sure where they will be going after this summer but they are sure the Lord is calling them to missions.

This has not come as a surprise to the people of our church. We have witnessed their heart for missions over the last several years. We have seen the way the God has gifted them. I am thankful that the church has a desire to send them into ministry.

What if our church wasn't? What if our church saw the qualifications and the heart of this couple and the gifts that God has given them, yet we weren't willing to put them into the ministry? What if?
