“[Not in your own strength] for it is God Who is all the while effectually<br />
at work in you [energizing and creating in you the power<br />
and desire], both to will and to work for His good pleasure and<br />
satisfaction and delight.”<br />
Even when our will prefers something other than God’s will,<br />
he can create within us the energy and the desire to do what he<br />
asks. He can match our will to his so that we gain the strength,<br />
the power, and the desire to dig into the task, in this case language<br />
learning.<br />
Following God is exciting stuff. For further insight or motivation,<br />

Q:<br />
Can I become a missionary if<br />
I don’t want to learn another<br />
language?<br />
A: Yes.<br />
Yes, you can be a missionary to some group where at least<br />
some people speak your language. Many from unreached people<br />
groups are moving to other areas or countries where they learn to<br />
speak English. Frequently, when resistant people move elsewhere,<br />
they become open to the gospel. In addition, many working with<br />
international business companies speak English, so you have vast<br />
opportunities with educated middle- and upper-class people. Finally,<br />
worldwide over 400 million people speak English.<br />
Also consider the global market for you as an English teacher.<br />
