I’m going to start this blog with some raw truth.
Ready?
Are you sure?
Ok….
The men of this world today are pathetic.
Not all of us, but most of us.
I don’t mean to be offensive to the good men out there. There are a lot of good men out there. Let’s be real though, there are more women reading my blog right now than men.
More women supported me in my missions than men.
And get this…. more women are in the mission field than men.
Don’t believe me? Look at the pictures I post,
How many men do you see?
My squad has over 20 women and guess how many men……
4……..
The facts go on for days but let me get to the point.
My heart is broken, completely shattered, because of the lack of male leadership in the world. My heart aches for the men who claim to know Jesus but refuse to sacrifice anything for Him. I have a burning passion to disciple the men who don’t know Jesus, and are satisfied with the ways of the world.
My heart is not the only one broken.
Mothers all around the world are spending hours in tears and on their knees. Desperately crying out for God to rescue their sons.
Praying for their sons who most likely grew up without a father. Their sons who’s father used their mother and threw her away. Because, well…he had no father either.
So these poor mothers are hurting.
I met 2 of these mothers last week.
My team and I were walking the streets. Prayer walking and asking the Lord to lead us into homes. We would go from house to house praying for healing, giving encouragement and sharing scripture.
2 houses on 2 different days stood out to me.
These 2 women needed prayers for their sons. They mentioned that their sons were on a wrong path. Their hearts were broken.
The Holy Spirit reminded me of how my mom felt 4 years ago. She had a broken heart, and I was on a wrong path. She was praying on her knees while I was getting drunk, fighting, using drugs and the list goes on. She prayed so relentlessly and faithfully as I ended up in jail 3 times in a 4 year span.
I shared this testimony with the ladies. I explained how my mom never stopped praying for me. I told them that it didn’t happen overnight, but God answered her prayers. I was saved.
I told them to give their sons to God and never stop praying. Maybe 4 years from now their sons will be missionaries too.
I could feel the comfort of this testimony embracing these mothers so gently, as tears of hope poured out of them.
To my Mom:
Thanks for praying for me all of those years. That testimony is being used around the world now. Your faithfulness is comforting hurting mothers all over the world. God is using you. Love you!
For the readers:
I personally know and know of, tons of good solid Christian MEN. I needed to make a point with this blog for the lack of male leadership. I have an awesome Dad who loves Jesus and leads well. I have a wonderful community of men back home who I look up to. Men who fight the good fight, follow Jesus and make disciples. I know men who have sacrificed everything for Jesus.
