At the time I did not recognize that as my calling. I simply wanted to know Him better. I joined YWAM and was sent to Greenland. During my time there, I saw God\u2019s power at work and felt his calling to serve the people of Greenland. This calling stayed with me for six years. Then my wife received a dream about Greenland and we decided to visit Greenland. We had peace while being there. We asked the Lord for a sign from outside our family. During our travel home, an unknown man approached us on the plane, asking us what we had done in Greenland. I told him that we wanted to live there to do mission-work. He was very moved and told us that this had been his exact prayer for many years! To us, this was God&#8217;s confirmation. In 2014 we moved to Greenland and we praise God as we see Him at work.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Peter de Graaf<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-hbk6p8-9aab80a1fff578ef0e36adf50321ff7b\">\n.flex_column.av-hbk6p8-9aab80a1fff578ef0e36adf50321ff7b{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-hbk6p8-9aab80a1fff578ef0e36adf50321ff7b av_one_fourth  avia-builder-el-19  el_after_av_three_fourth  avia-builder-el-last  flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-getzks-c538f5aad9db49db16320a671d34514b\">\n.avia-image-container.av-getzks-c538f5aad9db49db16320a671d34514b img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-getzks-c538f5aad9db49db16320a671d34514b .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-getzks-c538f5aad9db49db16320a671d34514b av-styling- av-hover-grow avia_animated_image av-animated-when-visible-95 fade-in avia-align-left  avia-builder-el-20  avia-builder-el-no-sibling '   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img decoding=\"async\" fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-28078 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-28078 avia_image ' src=\"https:\/\/www.globemission.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/de-Graaf2.jpg\" alt='' title=''  height=\"225\" width=\"225\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.globemission.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/de-Graaf2.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.globemission.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/de-Graaf2-80x80.jpg 80w, https:\/\/www.globemission.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/de-Graaf2-36x36.jpg 36w, https:\/\/www.globemission.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/07\/de-Graaf2-180x180.jpg 180w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 225px) 100vw, 225px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><!-- close content main div --><\/div><\/div><div id='av_section_4'  class='avia-section av-e4tba4-5a265a517652b0c7555ea072d0c9eeab main_color avia-section-default avia-no-border-styling  avia-builder-el-21  el_after_av_section  el_before_av_section  avia-bg-style-scroll container_wrap fullsize'  ><div class='container av-section-cont-open' ><div class='template-page content  av-content-full alpha units'><div class='post-entry post-entry-type-page post-entry-2572'><div class='entry-content-wrapper clearfix'>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-c5sat8-07b4076f37451ed72e72a4ad2883d04e\">\n.flex_column.av-c5sat8-07b4076f37451ed72e72a4ad2883d04e{\nborder-radius:0px 0px 0px 0px;\npadding:0px 0px 0px 0px;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='flex_column av-c5sat8-07b4076f37451ed72e72a4ad2883d04e av_three_fourth  avia-builder-el-22  el_before_av_one_fourth  avia-builder-el-first  first flex_column_div av-zero-column-padding  '     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-kqamc7ym-9256568600bf8451157287d7bf67f05f '   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/CreativeWork\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><h2>Calling of a missionary wife<\/h2>\n<p>I was \u2018called\u2019 into missions when I was 31 years old, mother of two, pregnant with No. 3.

For over an hour we prophesied to each other over a map of Europe using 2 Thessalonians 1 and 2. God spoke to us concerning evangelism and discipleship in a region of converging and diverging people groups. The Rhine-Ruhr industrial region of Germany is the crossroads of Europe with international ties. In the same way that the Thessalonians took the Gospel to Achaia, so would effective evangelism in the Crossroads of Europe lead to a world mission. While sharing this vision with youth groups in the area, one young man asked: Who will come and show us how it is done? After some struggle, I submitted to the Holy Spirit\u2019s prodding and said, \u201cLord, I don\u2019t know how this could happen, but if you can use me, then I am willing to go.\u201d After the Lord called my wife in August of that year, we made plans to come live in Germany in 1981.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Brad Thurston<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div>\n<style type=\"text\/css\"
