Life can be considered as a journey and as we make our way through these last days we have an opportunity to view this as exciting times as we look forward to the new system.
There are however many places which we would love to visit and explore and experience. One such place is Cuenca, Ecuador, and it is our goal one day to serve as "needgreaters" even for a short time.
But how do you go from regular family in the cong with jobs and kids to setting your heart and mind to serving where the need is greater?
Have you ever heard the term "virtual tourism"?
Virtual tourism is the activity of "visiting" sites of interest over the Internet without having to physically travel to them and why would any one want to do that? Well you have to admit, this world is built on glossy mags showcasing the very best the world has to offer - including travel destinations. The internet has provided an opportunity to take a closer look at places that we may never have considered or thought was out of our reach. By looking, reading fist hand travel accounts we get an idea of what it would be like.
The society's website, www.jw.org is an amazing example of how far we have come and how it is helping people from all over the world come to know Jehovah.

Over the past 8 months (since we had that dvd that was shown during the Co's visit) I have been reading about "needgreaters" from all around the world and their wonderful experiences, building up a desire to visit some of the places mentioned.
So even if it may be a far off goal in a far far distant land, our desire only keeps growing everyday. In the mean time we working hard in our own territory finding honest hearted ones and enjoying the rich blessings and ...... we have a starting point.
