The vision for my life can be summarized by the words of the Apostle Paul, "I want to be all things to all men that I might win as many possible for Christ" (1 Corinthians 9:22). I want to relate to people of many ages and different nationalities. However, the fastest growing religion of our time, after Christianity, is Islam. My vision is to read the Bible with Muslim women. I'm not sure whether I will do this in the U.S. where the Muslims would be immigrants, in a Muslim country such as Pakistan, or in another country like Ireland where both the Muslims and I are not from that country.
I have a dream to get married someday and start a family, but I am waiting on God for wisdom to decide if this is the wisest decision for me. If I do get married, I know that I would like adopt children. This might be in addition to any biological children. One thing that is for certain is that God places us all in families and gives us fruitful lives even if we are unmarried. My first family is my Church family. Perhaps someday I will have my own family as a demonstration and extension of this.
By the end of my life, I would like to be involved with planting an orphanage in India. After watching the movie Slumdog Millionaire, I felt compelled to reach out to children that need a loving, safe Christian environment. The longterm goals are to help them with their needs and to be set up with loving families. I believe these goals will have an impact on many lives in the world. By the grace of God, He will use me to meet many different people where they are at in life.
