Sara L. Foust

Ruth 2:12 (KJV)—The Lord recompense thy work, and a full reward be given thee of the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings thou art come to trust.

I came across this verse a few weeks ago while I was having my morning Bible study. Little did I know how significant it would become. I challenged the Women’s Bible School class that week to do something for God that scared them. I took the challenge myself, but I had no idea what God had planned.

I have always wanted to go on a mission trip, but I’ve never had the time or courage or money (or any other excuse I could come up with). The idea of leaving my children and husband to travel to a third-world country, when this country girl has never left the good ole US of A, is terrifying. I always said, “Someday, Lord.” Well, apparently, someday has arrived!

On Sunday, October 1^st, after much praying and question-asking, I feel that God is saying, “Go.” So, three fellow church members, some friends from another local church, I will be traveling to Daet, Philippines to work with a National Pastor and his church; providing support and encouragement for the local mission pastors, youth camp, and hospital outreach. I am SO excited, but also SO nervous. This verse from Ruth is what God has given me for my personal “mission trip verse.” I know that He will take care of the details, the fundraising, and my family while I’m gone. And I cannot wait to work with the children there and help them learn more about God.

How does this tie into my book release? That’s another answered prayer. God is leading me to use the profits made from book sales toward the fundraising our team is doing until our goal is met. We’ve got a lot of money to raise in a short amount of time, but hopefully Callum’s Compass will be a helpful part of our mission trip. And, more than anything, I hope something readers read in Callum’s Compass will encourage them to a closer relationship with God, who loves them unconditionally.

Blurb for Callum’s Compass:

KAT WILLIAMS’S brother died in a gruesome accident in the mountains of East Tennessee. She blames herself.

RYAN JENKINS’S fiancée was murdered. He couldn’t protect her.

With the death of her brother, Kat believes she is unworthy of love from anyone—even God. When a good friend elicits a promise that she will stop living in the past and then leaves her clues to a real-life treasure hunt, Kat embarks on an adventure chock-full of danger. To find the treasure, Kat will have to survive wild animals—and even wilder men. Can she rely on Ryan, the handsome wildlife officer assigned to protect her . . . without falling in love?

Ryan swore off love when his fiancée was murdered, but feelings long-buried rise to the surface around Kat. He volunteers to help with her treasure hunt, vowing to keep her safe. Together they venture deep into caves and tunnels . . . and even deeper into the depths of their unplumbed hearts.

There are /were several missionaries in my family, and listening to their stories over the years has been fascinating. But I know full well I'm not made of the same stuff. I have not yet read Sara's book, so I'm throwing my name in the hat for the drawing. Best of success with this book, Sara!

Hi Peg. So glad you stopped by. I have not read Sara's book as yet either, but it is definitely one (of many!) that has piqued my interest.

Thank you Vivian and Becky! I hope you absolutely love the book if you read it!

Callum’s Compass sounds interesting. Any book that encourages me to get closer to God is worth reading! Using the sales to raise money for the mission trip is a wonderful idea! Praying that you will be greatly blessed in new ways, as you step out in faith.

I'm so excited for you, Sarah! And I admire you for your commitment to the Lord! What a great step of faith!!

Reply by: Patti Shene

I so agree, Cynthia. I don't know that I would have what it takes to make that kind of commitment. Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment for Sara.

Sara Foust From TN At 10/21/2017 10:36:04 AM

Thanks, Nicki! I'm so excited about the trip! Rose, that's awesome! I can't wait to go. I'm ready to work with those little ones. I'm betting it will be hard to leave them when I get ready to come home. We're praying about a mission trip for 2019 that our entire family could go on, too!

Reply by: Patti Shene

Guess I misunderstood, Sara. According to your post, I thought you already went on Oct 1st! I will be praying for the trip, for a wonderfully enriching experience for everyone!

rose McCauley From KY At 10/21/2017 10:21:12 AM

Hi Sarah, glad to connect with you again. I pray God's best on your book sales and mission trip. I have been on three longer ones (6-15 days) and one one-day one while on a K-Love Cruise. (That's what my latest book is based on!) We go to bless others and find ourselves being blessed also!

Reply by: Patti Shene

Hi Rose. Thank you for stopping by and sharing your mission trip experiences with us.

Nicki From Kentucky At 10/21/2017 10:00:26 AM

Thanking God for answered prayer! Thanks for sharing, Sara. :)

Hi Nicki. It is always so interesting to learn how God answers our prayers in different ways. Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment for Sara.
