If God has called you to missions, then you need to do some preparation for missions. Have you thought about preparing? He won't just throw stuff in your lap. You'll need to do a little work, prayer, more searching, etc.
My wife and I spent most of last year out of the country. We left all our stuff in about 3 months, moved and worked there for while. However, we were prepared when God opened the door to go. Work on being prepared and wait on His timing.
Practical advice? Learn a language. Find some books on Missions. My wife is starting a webpage www.one8center.com
check it out. learn. say yes. go.

My advice is to go the the hungry and the orphan.
What's ultimately important is not where you go but that fact that you're going. Sometimes we wait for a specific call, but God has given us all the call we need when he told us to GO in the Great Commission. If you are serving him he doesn't care where you're doing it!
Sometimes people are afraid that if they don't hear God calling them to a specific place then they will not be in the "center" of God's will and will not be blessed. God is not that picky -- the harvest is plentiful, he just wants us to jump in and get to work, he'll be happy no matter where we go.

God will let his plan known to you in due time. I know that is easier to type then to accept, but it is true. I have been on 3 mission trips to Mexico, and 1 to Haiti. I enjoyed them all. Good luck.

Ask God, not us!
Maybe you don't know yet because you're not ready. If He is going to show you when He wants to, don't you think He has a reason for that?

You've been infected by the faith virus and are now turning into a faith zombie. You may still have time to vaccinate against it, but you have to apply massive doses of reason and scepticism before it's too late.

Only prayer and fasting will reveal where God wants you to be.
You can ask the opinions of others, but even your minister will admit that it is God alone who will tell you where to go.

God will tell you when He is ready. Until then, continue your life in service to God and Christ.
