Marriage is Tough…Especially without Support
“He left, what am I going to do now?” The anguished cry came from a long time local partner. She and her husband were sent out to work among a Muslim people group many years ago.
No Two are Exactly the Same
Individuality calls for unique approaches to every Hui person. The same presentation of the gospel may be extremely effective for one person while relatively off-putting for another. Although my friend was a staunch Muslim, she was extremely open to the worldview presented in the Bible, because my Christian friends and I engaged her unique perspective with the gospel. My friend is a good reminder that contextualization extends even to the individual.
“Prayer for the Hui” – A Devotional
Sometimes, when you hear a new song, there’s one single line that just gets stuck in your head. For me, “Prayer for the Hui” has one of those lines. Of course, there are clearly God-glorifying, gospel-centered words throughout the song, laying before God our prayer that He would work throughout the world bringing people into His Kingdom. But there was this one line that resonated with me in a profound way and had a huge impact on my thoughts and prayers, because it was so applicable to my own life and my own struggles with sharing the gospel with those I know personally.
MBBs – An Opportunity for Growth
It just so happens (isn’t it interesting how often we encounter such things in Kingdom work) that a small group of MBBs had recently started meeting in our town for mutual encouragement, study and growth.
A Lost Sheep by a Cliff
I prayer-walked around the county. When I was walking on a bridge, my heart was praying for His guidance throughout this holy month for Muslim families (the fasting month). In the next 10 minutes, I heard a sheep’s crying voice. I looked for the location of the voice and found it came from a distant deep valley. A lost sheep was wandering nowhere and crying for the way home. The sheep was lost!!
Building Cross Cultural Friendships Through Shared Experiences
And here we are again at the end of another summer break. As a worker, I am in a non-stop wrestling
match in my soul, battling with the tension of wanting desperately to be faithful in this friendship to
point her to Jesus and knowing that, no matter what, I cannot save her, this is the work of the Lord
alone. I ask that you would join me in prayer for this precious friend.
