You know this past week we had company and i didn't want to ditch them in the morning times to sit at my computer and type out my entire devotion. Is that bad? In a way i think that it is because I didn't express my thoughts on paper as I do love to do. In another way, it was amazing because the friends that I had staying here have an incredible heart for the Lord and I was encouraged through everything that we did together. They live in a different world, well really just a different country, but in their world, the Muslims are the dominating force. They have very few Christian friends that surround them and people persecute the Christians that are there.
They were explaining to me that so much of the population in Asia doesn't even know who Jesus is. Could that be? Is that possible, people today still don't know who Jesus is? A story that they told at our open house really struck me. There was this intelligent young women who went off to university and was in an art class. They were flipping through their books and she saw a beautiful picture of a man hanging on a cross. She asked who it was. SHE DIDN'T KNOW! This was a very intelligent woman. Someone explained to her that it was Jesus, Christians believe that he is the son of God. Later, while sleeping, she had a dream about God and so on one side there was God, then on the other side there was the picture of Jesus and it had a bright light behind it. The two came together and from that moment on she knew that there was something about Jesus. Now I WAS chasing 4 kids around the room while trying to listen, so I just got the gist of the story and not all the details, but what a story!
God is revealing himself to the Muslim population, to people that don't know him all over the world. We need to be ready to support that. Weather it is going, praying, financially backing someone that IS able, willing and called to go. We need to be supporting ministries all over the world. If you ARE interested in committing to support someone, I would love it if you would support my friends whether in prayer or financially. I can give you the information. The power of prayer is amazing and mighty!
