.This week while we were at church we learnt a little about this very interesting country. One of the things that struck me was the beauty and happiness of the people. Although poor and struggling, they have a very sincere manner about them. Something very beautiful.
In the interview with a young 19 year old man, the man was asked this question... have you every heard of Jesus? Have you ever heard of the bible.. ? " who... who he stumbled with a quizzical look on his face. " Jesus?" ... The man, who had a fair grasp of English shook his head and said with certainty, " no, I have never heard of him"
I found myself wiping away the tears running down my cheeks.
No, I have never heard of him!
Jesus.
I hear about him all the time. I talk to him every day. He is my all in all, my hope; may joy; my saviour; the one I love and worship. All this because I was privileged enough to HEAR about him. Someone told me about Jesus!!
My heart stirred at the call to go and preach the good news. it has before and probably will again. I am totally drawn to the idea of going to another country to tell people about Jesus.
And yet.... there is so much here that holds me ... But I am committed to praying for and supporting those who are able to go adn who do go. May your feet be blessed with an easy path and your way be made straight as he calls those whom he has chosen.
God bless you!!
