Why Linda?
(also see attached document: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Mission Field below)
Great question and one I asked the first time I knew God was calling me to ministry. After all, I had my career as a CPA tax specialist, managing a finance/tax department for a wonderful company with whom I had been employed for 10 years. I loved my job?and well, okay, the money as well. Also, I loved my church and the opportunity for short term mission trips through which I participated 2-3 times yearly.
But God designed a burden in me for the lostSee Why France?
So God in His sovereignty, directed me to France where He would use my CPA skills to do what I never imagined possible. Not only do I manage the accounting for TEAM France but this job description is the VERY thing that God uses to be accepted within social circles of the secular French and share Christ! Please allow me to explain both aspects.
