I met “Mimi” last year at an English club in East Asia. Each time we met, I got to talk with her about the Gospel on some level. Then she joined one of our summer English Camps where she met six of our incredible summer volunteers. She heard the Gospel again and the time was right. Mimi became a follower of Jesus, joined one of our very first small groups and was baptized this year.
1 Comment I recently read through Mark chapters 4-6. These chapters show us the incredible power, authority and sovereignty of God. Jesus is healing the sick and casting out demons and even the demons recognized the authority of Jesus so they trembled.
Today, according to Joshua Project and Finishing the Task, there are 6,900 Unreached People Groups (2.81 billion people with very little to no access to the Gospel) and 635 of them are completely unengaged by anyone with the Gospel. We are seeking to open our first "Student Center" in East Asia. The purpose is to have a facility where can we host discipleship small groups for university students, establish a church (one that multiplies) around a community of university campuses and a place where various Evangelistic activities can take place in a private and secure location.
I love surprises, at least good ones, and I got to observe one recently at a recent baptism service we hosted in cooperation with a local pastor.
The service began with music then the pastor transitioned into sharing about baptism, its meaning and how it takes place. He asked those in attendance who had repented and had faith in Jesus. I noticed Alan had his hand raised. My East Asian language ability is improving but still limited so I thought “Maybe I misunderstood the pastor”. When it was time for those desiring baptism to go to the changing rooms, Alan stood and went. WOW! It was obvious that I understood the pastor enough so let me share my experience with Alan. | archivesMay 2012 categoriesAll |
