Have you
prayed for Christians around the world today? If you are like me, the
cares of work, your children, and just Austin in general tend to occupy
most of my thoughts in a given day.
However,
one of the benefits of God allowing Amy and me to do work in different
parts of the world has been the way it has changed our view of that
world. Having friends in Nepal, Ukraine, Russia, Africa, and many other
places gives us a front-seat view to news that seem a million miles away
when watched from a television reporter’s viewpoint. My Facebook
newsfeed is constantly flooded with stories of these world events told
through the eyes of friends right there in the midst of often difficult
and sometimes tragic events. We are able to see Jesus at work, even in
the midst of all of this.
This
week, as you watch the news coming out of Nepal, take some time to stop
and pray. Pray for the people in the midst of such tragedy, and also
pray for the Christians that are there doing ministry right now. We may
not be able to see them, but the Lord certainly does. May the name of
Jesus be proclaimed, even in tough circumstances!
