What is the worth of a soul? If Jesus left His heavenly throne, came to earth in human flesh, suffered and died to save the souls of earth, should it not cost us?
If it costs us 115 degree heat without electricity, fans or AC for most of the day; if it costs us a little discomfort and dirt to to carry the Gospel; if a few thousand dollars were spent to reach the unreached; and a little child hears about Jesus--we have fulfilled God's purpose. To see the rapt attention, the absorbing of the love of the one true God (in a land where children are surrounded by thousands of idol shrines), the joy and smiles as they grasp the concepts of sin and salvation--we have fulfilled our purpose.
Four more days of Bible School will complete the session. God's Word will never return to Him void. And these children will impact their culture far beyond our own lifespan. Who knows what God will do, whom He will raise up from among these little ones to lead their country to Christ? We are sowing the seeds to the seedlings; Johnpaul's pastors will water, and God will bring the eternal increase.
Please keep praying as new doors and opportunities open daily. More on our next blog. If I survive the oppressive heat, the 'breeze' through open doors that feels as if someone opened a woodstove, the hot water in our bottles (at least it's wet...)
