We may not be called to face prison.  Our service to God may not call on us to go to far away countries, to suffer torments, or to venture where people do not routinely go.  But we can be the indispensable friend who aids those who serve  in dangerous places.  I some how think we are all called to aid those who serve in mission fields even if we have not heard his voice telling us to go.

And I went about among you, and everywhere for your sake, in danger, and as far as the outermost regions beyond which no one lived, and where no one had ever penetrated before, to baptize or to ordain clergy or to confirm people.

Conscientiously and gladly I did all this work by God’s gift for your salvation.

From time to time I gave rewards to the kings, as well as making payments to their sons who travel with me; notwithstanding which, they seized me with my companions, and that day most avidly desired to kill me. But my time had not yet come.

They plundered everything they found on us anyway, and fettered me in irons; and on the fourteenth day the Lord freed me from their power, and whatever they had of ours was given back to us for the sake of God on account of the indispensable friends whom we had made before.
