“[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 />

let’s read on.<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 />
