A.J and Melissa are traveling around the world. During the next couple days, they are offering one free round-trip economy class ticket to anywhere in the world, to be used before the end of 2012.

To enter, you have to answer two questions. :

#1 If you could go anywhere in the world where would you go?

#2 Why?

It got me thinking.

***

#1 Jerusalem.

#2. Because it was destroyed a century ago and no one can seem to get it rebuilt. I’m been in tears since my brother told me how bad it is. I’d love to go and lead the rebuilding process. But it’s almost 900 miles by foot. Or camel. If you give me the ticket, you’ll be rebuilding the identity of a whole people.

Thanks. Nehemiah.

P.S. If I don’t win, I guess I can ask the king.

***

#1. I’d love to go to Spain

#2. I’ve been talking about Jesus for the last 20 years around Turkey and Israel and Greece. I’ve been working my way along, just like you two. In fact, a lot like you two. I’m heading to Rome soon, I hope, right after a quick trip to Jerusalem. But Jesus talked about going to the edges of the earth and Spain’s about as far to the edge as I can imagine. If you give me the ticket, I’m happy to take care of my own accommodations. I can even make my own tent.

Thanks.  Paul

P.S. If I don’t win, I might be able to appeal to Caesar

***

#1. The desert. Or anywhere.

#2. I’ve been betrayed by a close friend. I have enemies staring at me everywhere I turn. I was just saying, “If I had dove’s wings…” Forget it. Just read this: Psalm 55.

Thanks. David.

P.S. “But as for me, I trust in God”

So, where would you go?
