Many people believe that we must be overseas in order to have a moving global impact.
This could not be further from the truth.
One of the main reasons I came on The World Race was to serve God’s people. These past five months, I have met more people than I could count that have absolutely broken my heart. I don’t hurt for them simply because they live in poverty or have challenges in their lives. My compassion is driven from a desire to give them unending hope and joy that we can only find in the Lord.
I know that I cannot alone love every orphan, feed every hungry mouth, free every captive, love every brokenhearted, give hope to every lost, and comfort all those who mourn, but that will not stop me from taking a stand.
The Lord calls us to take action…..
AND He also calls us to present ALL of our requests before Him. Even if we could, as humans, end global poverty, where would that leave us? People may no longer be hungry, but would they truly be receiving a lasting impact?
Would they KNOW the surpassing worth of their GLORIOUS Savior?
Would they still look to Him to provide? In praying for the people of the Nations, we recognize that our actions, although good and helpful, may not be sufficient. We serve a God that is MIGHTY, POWERFUL, and COMPASSIONATE! Where we cannot reach, He can move mountains!
So I’m asking you to JOIN US in us!
This Sunday (Saturday for you all in the U.S.), we will be fasting from various things (food, internet, etc.), and we will be sleeping in our tents in the field to spend a night in solitude and prayer, fighting for those in need all around the world. We encourage you to fast with us in remembrance of those in need. This is not a day/night to spend in misery or guilt, but to remember God’s promises for His children, and to ask Him to be present here in Romania, the United States, Canada, Africa, Asia, and all parts of the world! If our loving God can move mountains, then let’s ask Him to do it!
