Missions are all about people. We are blessed with big numbers and
impact, for which we thank God, but it's the little stories sometimes that
really move you. Here's one:
Msinda
Today
we preached & sang to the people at the taxi station, which is really more
like a depot for vans that carry about 16-20 persons each. I preached on
how Jesus wants to care for us more than we care for our own children.
Let me tell you, it was hot! People were taking refuge in any tiny spot
of shade they could find, and no one seemed ready to respond to the appeal,
though people were being won with the E-cubes. A few minutes later, a
woman with a small baby wrapped around her back came up to me and asked if I
would pray for her. "What do you need?" I asked. "I
want to have my sins forgiven," she said. As we prayed, tears ran
down her young face. Msinda is 19, and already knows the cares of an
unfriendly world. He will be the Friend and Saviour she needs.
In every way, by any means,
Julie
