I'm astonished. How could my own uncle comment that my dream of serving on board Doulos as USELESS?

"You gotta spend $12 000 on that ship for 2 years, why not use the money for Bible colledge? Serving on that ship is useless, they don't pay you and yet you got to work for them."

Totally can't agree with that. I HATE typical people like these. So it's always take take take and we can't give give give? Call yourself a pastor with doctorate.

True that we will have to work, true that we don't get paid at all, true that using the money for Bible Colledge might be a better choice. But NOT true if serving God onboard Doulos is USELESS. Can't people just learn to give without asking to be have something in return? Has this world taught us only this?

What I see from Doulos is 2 years of whole new experience, 2 years of discipline working with people from all over the world. 2 years of experiencing God outside our comfort zone. 2 years of life that's not filled with computers, games, money and etc.

Grandma asked if I still wanna serve on Doulos. I told her...

"Even if it's hard; I'll go. Even if I'll get seasick; I'll go. Even if people around me don't understand; I'll go"

Of course, may God's will be done. Disappointment in my Uncle D***d.

Did you know you can qualify for 15 months FREE Bible school credits if you complete two years on Doulos? I hope this link works -
