1st Century Church Impact
First, please accept my apologies for a brief intermission in my blogging. I have just returned from a fascinating and miraculous trip to S.E. Asia. My heart is on fire and just this morning in prayer with a few men, I prayed that the fire within me will spread to everything I do and to each of you as well.
You see, we, this little pregnancy care center, tucked away in Tucson, AZ for Pete’s sake, is having an impact in a part of the world that is hungry for God’s Word and for everything and anything that is of Him. Our opportunity to teach about the sanctity of human life, post-abortion healing and intimacy with God before attempting to impact lives and communities has been such a privilege. A friend of mine told me when she learned of our activities that she saw in her heart and mind’s eye the plowing of fields and the planting of seeds from which new life can take root.
That’s just the case in Cambodia where the Church is just 15 years old. There are not many places where we as a CPC and community can play a foundational part in shaping the course of a ‘1st Century Church.’ But that is the case there. It’s an unbelievable opportunity to help plant the doctrine of the sanctity of human life in the fertile field of the Church, making the preciousness of life central in all of the Church’s teachings and living. And yet, because of many of you, we are there doing just that. Thank you.
Our work there is also planting hope that their young girls have a God planned purpose and future beyond sex slavery and prostitution or worse. Our work there is also planting the knowledge that God is a forgiving God, full of mercy and grace -such much so that He gave His own Son as a sacrifice even while we were still offending Him so that we could have eternity together with Him. Amazing!
Within a few days, many of you will be receiving through the mail and within my “Message In A Minute” E-Letter a tremendous story involving a pastor in Cambodia and how God has touched his life. If you do not receive either of those pieces, please respond and let me know so that I can see that you do.
Meanwhile, bless you for your prayers, support and encouragement. When the people of God decide to do something in His name and for His glory, great things happen and lives are saved. God be praised.
