Amazed!!! | Wednesday, July 25, 2007


I was amazed and still in amazement at what the Lord is doing in this country and its neighbouring countries that I can only bow my head in awe. I came to this place, without knowing what to expect and I can only pray to God that may my time here not be wasted but that I am able to see the Glory of the Lord moving powerfully in this place. God has been so gracious for He has granted my requests more than what I have expected and I felt like that new song that everyday, God's glory unfolds anew and it was such a tremendous blessings to me here. I am amazed at His love for the local people and am amazed at His love, concern, and protection for me here even though I am here alone.

When I came here for the first time, He has blessed me with new contacts with the local Christians who love God with all their hearts and are so dynamic for Him that I made strong friendships with them and that they looked after my welfare excellently. When I need a place to stay at the very last minute, they rallied around and managed to find a place for me to live and to stay within one day time and that spoke much of their love and concern that they have for me. I am amazed for they only knew me for three months and such love was already pouring out from them and I am touched by their gesture of love.

I have also went with them to a Mission Conference and I was touched and amazed at this conference for God is doing a marvellous work which I have not expected. He has used one South Korean missionary to start this conference which is focused on bringing the Gospel back to Jerusalem through the Silk Road and I was amazed at the impact that God has placed upon his life. He heard the call of God clearly in his life and I was amazed at how he imparts his vision not only to his family, church but also to the neighbouring countries that they caught the fire of his vision and they went to spread the Good News further and plant numerous churches and I am amazed. The first thought that came to my mind was that I should just pack up my things and go back home because what the pastor has done is more that what I could ever do for the Lord and I felt so small and so insignificant and I was amazed at the love of God for this nation and beyond. I also felt like Elijah who thought he was labouring alone for the Work of God but then God revealed to Him that besides Elijah, He has preserved 700 prophets who have not kissed Baal and that was how I felt. I thought I was labouring alone when my friends have left for their own countries but then when I came out of the conference, I was touched by His love and His passion for this people, for God has clearly not forsaken them and now the time is at hand for God's glory to show forth more powerfully in this nation and I am excited.

All in all, I am touched by the love of God and so much more that I will want to come back to this land and to see what great work that God has done and is still doing here that I will not want to miss it. That is my prayer and my hope for God's hand is clearly in this place and upon my life. God bless
