How interesting it was that Paul set off in search of mission and let God guide him along the way. In Acts 16 there is that fascinating passage that describes Paul's pursuit of his calling and God's nudging him in the right direction.

I always think of a pinball machine when I read about how he tried this direction and God said no, so he tried another direction and again the route was blocked. Finally God speaks and Paul sets off in a new direction.

Israel in the wilderness, Abraham from Ur to Canaan, Paul to Macedonia. Just following God where he leads. Not a bad idea for the church when you think about it.
