    ILM #2 A closed country with a Global Heart

    “When people come from America to serve with us for a short time, we love hosting them! We love to see them grow in the LORD and leave with these things: some great ministry in the country, a chance to grow in their faith, prayer, a vision for the country, and a vision for the whole World.”

    I (michael) love this perspective as so many times missionaries have failed to be big hearted because they are focused ONLY on “Church planting” or some other activity. They are just focused on what God has “called” them to . . . or the people group to whom they have deepest on their heart.

    This leader repented from this thinking and has just an open-ness to serve anyone around the globe in the name of Jesus Christ. If you would like to know who this is, contact me directly and I can tell you more of this wonderful meal I shared with this brother.

    PRAY: for all Christian workers around the globe that we might be concerned the World not JUST our niche. May we be people of prayer, vision, growth, ministry, and with Jesus Christ as the center of who we are.

    What a joy to read about your time here. Keep it up. I know it is not going to be easy as your meetings increase but it is a blessing to those of us who are standing with you in prayer!
