What do you do about the needs of peoples as the child of GOD?

Dear friends I rejoice that due to this blog each one of you has an opportunity to follow the events of our short term mission trip to India. It is such a blessing for us that people in the church really pray for each our day in India.

Yesterday as we fellowshipped with Liza (a missionary with Wycliff) who already spent 7 years serving these people, I saw again how important information is so that you can be a part of oversees mission.

India is not just another country in the world. It is a motherland of numerous new religions and a nursery for old ones which are alluring for millions of Europeans including our countrymen.

At the border of Nepal we met two young men from Moscow who came to India and Nepal in quest of spirituality and had been wandering there for 3 years already. They have no desire to come back to the real world while the Scripture says «I pray not that thou shouldest take them out of the world, but that thou shouldest keep them from the evil».

This place is a great medley of things but this brings only illusory soothing to restless souls. Without the light of the truth people walk in darkness. Christ has called us to be the light of this world: «Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven».

Watching these people, and people are the most precious God's creation, you can see that sin leads to degradation. When you see the beautiful children you can't help wondering «What are they suffering for?» For the guilt of there fathers.

When we don't see the real world but are focused on ourselves and our lives we feel no need to think about other people. But when we walk out into these fields we can see that they are white and ripe and we remember the words: «Therefore said he unto them, The harvest truly is great, but the labourers are few: pray ye therefore the Lord of the harvest, that he would send forth labourers into his harvest».

Why should we think about missions? Because it's every Christian's calling – «Go ye therefore, and teach all nations».

Dedicate, give, spend at least something to become a God's messenger to a foreign nation and see how your inward being responds to it.

For many years I have been maturing to be able to go beyond my comfort zone and find myself in the midst of a foreign nation, a different culture, face crying needs and I want to say PRAISE GOD, that He transforms my inside world according to His will.

I'd be glad to see your comments and thoughts about this article.

MAY GOD'S PEACE AND GRACE BE WITH YOU!
