Does An African Country Or Some Other Needy Nation Beckon You?

A colleague, Saint Andrew Strom, have just sent me a piece on his visit to Federal Republic Of Nigeria and permission is granted to reproduce portion of it. Why make I make this and why make I desire you to read it? Well, it so reminded me of my modern times in Republic Of Uganda and Kenya, speaking at Pastors Seminars in the slum areas and out in the jungles.

We recently got back from our trip to Federal Republic Of Nigeria - and had a fantastic time. The heat energy and the never ending cloud of dust, smogginess and Diesel exhaust were ever-present, but spiritually it was a antic trip.

Three modern times Supreme Being arranged it that we appeared on countrywide television - once while we were sermon and praying for the Goveror of Ogun State (a spot like the Governor of California). Only Supreme Being could set up such as a thing at the last minute, and we made certain He got all the glory. Thank you for your prayers, my friends!

I cognize a batch of people on this List have got had invitations to One-Third human race states to minister. They desire foreign preacher men because they cognize many people will come up up to hear a "white man" preach!

I desire to promote you to take these opportunities, my friends, even if you have got got got to pay your ain manner and that is quite likely because they are so poor.

I have come across many Repentance preacher men in the United States and the Occident who have been frustrated and demoralized here with the deficiency of response and/or openings. We necessitate to recognize that there is a broad human race out there that is hungry and despairing for sound sermon and biblical truth.

I retrieve once hearing Saint David Servant do an analogy of a fisherman with two fishing-holes to take from. In 1 fishing hole he caught virtually no fish at all, and the one he did catch jumped up and bicker H2O in his face! In the other fishing hole the fish were so despairing to be caught that they were clinging onto the line and he was hauling them in as fast as he could acquire his pole back in the water! Which fishing hole should he choose? Of course of study it was the 2nd 1 -equating to the Third World.

A batch of us believe it is the "spiritual" thing to do, to wait and wait and wait right where we are, but as Saint David Servant points out, Jesus Of Nazareth clearly told his adherents that if they were not received in one town, to travel forth that topographic point and go on until they happen a receptive place. This is actually a commandment of God. Otherwise all of God's retainers are left cachexia their clip in unresponsive environments. Jesus Of Nazareth bids us to "GO!"

Personally, for many old age now I have got focused my attending almost entirely on the West. But Supreme Being is changing that. In fact, it would not surprise me at all if Supreme Being names our household to be based in the Third World sometime in the adjacent few years. Such is the demand and the hungriness there. Sadly it is the exact antonym of what we so often happen in the comfy apathetic West.

I strongly promote every preacher man who is on this List to see the Third World - and soon. It may be clip to believe "outside the box", my friends. You won't repent it.

Thank you again for your fantastic supplications during our trip. We saw many discoveries in the lives of both leadership and people as we spoke on deep penitence and the true message of the cross vs. the selfish Gospel of gain, etc. Type A batch of people seemed very surprised and impacted by the messages. So your supplications made a immense difference. Thank you. I trust to go back to Africa again in May.

Yours for the Third World Harvest, dear friends.

There is so much written above with which I can identify. Around 70 to 120 Pastors would walk or rhythm 10 to 17 statute miles to go to the three years Seminars, sleeping on the flooring of the Christian church edifice each night. I would be instruction 3 one and a one-half hr Sessions each twenty-four hours with clip for questions. These work force of Supreme Being were so hungry.

Strong positive biblical leading and instruction is so appreciated!

It was deserving all the 'hassle' of traveling and all the 'inconvenience'. How often I have got establish over the old age that when we are inconvenienced, that is when Godhead Supreme Being utilizes us most of all.
