As the World Race comes to a close, I have been trying to reconnect with people back home. Some people have been badly bruised and scarred this past 11 months and I know they will still be hurting when I get home. Some people ‘get it’ now! They are filled with the fruits of the Spirit and their lives just seem to have blossomed!
Then there are others that have completely turned away from God and have turned to Buddism or Atheism. Over the last few days, my heart has been broken for these people. These are people that I have known for years. I can’t even describe the grief that I have felt for them.
We have traveled across the world and spread the gospel to so many people and we have seen so many lives transformed. Several of the people that we have spoken to this year had never even heard the name of Jesus and had no idea who He was or what He did, much less how much He loved them.
The most disheartening thing is that these men and women that I know have heard who Jesus is and they have heard what He did for them and they don’t care. They have chosen to not believe in Him and it breaks my heart for them to be so disillusioned.
Please join me in praying for them! Everytime I contact home, I seem to find out about more and more people who have turned away from God.
