Praise, Prayer, and a Plea
So I have had trouble getting back into a “normal” sleep schedule these past few nights, after spending 15 in a row out on the moon-lit streets with my wonderful team of praying, singing, hiking, climbing, *crumbers.
Night after night we distributed Bible portions (ie, crumbs) in dozens of remote villages and populated towns where messengers of the Gospel have never before trod. Hundreds of unique locations and tens of thousands of people were given access to God’s Word and the Gospel for the very first time!
*Crumbers or crumbing refers to the act of freely distributing portions of God’s Word (the Bread of Life) door to door AT NIGHT in restricted access nations.
This is actually a Google Earth screenshot of an unreached village with Cross-shaped adobe walls. We use hundreds of maps like these to target every town, every neighborhood, every home with the Gospel.
Praise God for helping us these past few weeks. The normal Autumn rain and cold disappeared for the vast majority of our ministry time, and major sickness or injury was avoided. These blessings enabled us to reach many more homes with the Gospel!
Pray with us for the unreached peoples who surround us (including Chinese Muslims, Buddhists, Daoists, and Atheists) have no easy access to the Gospel and a government that actively discourages evangelism of any kind. Our burden for them would be unbearable if not for the open doors God has so clearly provided us and the promises of God upon which we stand:
Psalm 65:5:
“By awesome deeds you answer us with righteousness, O God of our salvation, the hope of all the ends of the earth and of the farthest seas”
Revelation 7:9-10:
“After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes, with palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!””
Please consider coming on a future team or supporting someone who is able to come!
I truly feel inspired by this story as I sit at my desk at work trying not to cry. I always knew God had a calling for me to do missions and to help people. I always felt that God told me to go to Tibet and I never really knew why. I truly feel like there’s something there for me and that there’s something I am supposed to do.
