We Cannot Help But Speak of What we've Seen and Heard
I sit here...back in the Karaoke bar that doubles as our mission outpost, having devotions with the team. Okay, in truth, I just gave a scripture focus and prayed...now I'm letting you peek in the window.
Today is a very special day. We pray that it's a great day of harvest. We've been systematically telling biblical stories in an effort to chip away at the people's pagan world view and to prepare the way for the gospel presentation. Check out the following progression of stories:
1. Creation
2. The Fall
3. Sin Sacrifice
4. Promise of the Perfect Sacrifice
5. Birth of the Perfect Lamb
6. The Prodigal Son
7. The Gospel
Today it's The Prodigal and The Gospel stories. We pray for a harvest. Many of the students are really starting to get it. We are confident in God's ability to draw them to Himself. Will you pray with us?
Last night we had dinner with a very respected elected representative. The night before he had received Jesus as Lord and Savior. The night prior to his salvation his wife had called one of our hosts, a native to the community we're in, to ask for a group to come to her house. She was very curious why so many would spend time and money to come to this tiny dot on the global map. A group went to visit her. Her husband wasn't present that night as she expressed herself to our team. She was in much emotional turmoil and pain. Our team presented testimonies of personal suffering and how the Most High God had comforted them and brought peace in the midst of suffering. They then presented the Suffering Savior. She opened her heart and received Jesus. The next night her husband did. Last night we all ate together...all 52 of our team with these new babes in Christ. This would be like inviting a congressman to dinner and his accepting. He has great potential to make a difference in the spread of the gospel in this area. He has a desire to be a witness. Will you pray for this new couple?
We thought we came to work for God. He's been working for, in and around us in ways that can only be attributed to Him.
Got to go. We have a baptism within the hour for the representative and his wife.
