Who Will Go?
We now have today....and yesterday a young man, Bro. Eddie Williams, who is a Missionary to Kenya. He is a dear friend to our son, Chuck, Terry and family and has been stateside for some time now.
Last night Charlie and I went to East Bay Baptist Church in Riverview in order to hear Bro. Eddie speak of his missionary life.
He related incidents of having his small church...in the slum of Soweto in the city of Nairobi, robbed, burned and desecrated. He, also, told of being in the church with another pastor, praying...when eight men armed with clubs entered. They stated that they were of the Muslim belief and were there to receive payment for protection of the church....
Bro. Eddie and the other Pastor informed them that.....God was their protector....Needless to say, they were beaten unmercifully....
Blood streaming from their bodies....they quickly cleaned up as best they could....and went out deeper into the village of Soweto and was invited into a home where the end result was that seventeen people received Jesus Christ into their heart, family and home.....
Why do these people like Bro. Eddie and so many others......give their lives to such a dangerous and life threatening work of life?
Could you do it?
Could I do it?
Would we....if we ‘felt’ we were called to such a life?
That is at the heart of the question.....and the answer?
The Scripture from Isaiah 6:8 says....Then I heard the Lord asking,....
“Whom shall I send as a messenger to the people? Who will go?”
And I said, “Lord, I’ll go! Send me.”
These truths are planted deep within our hearts of faith...
We may not be called to such a life-threatening mission as Bro. Eddie.. but as he related to the Church last night, we are called.....to exactly where we are in our everyday life. To live our life of faith, daily, and be prepared always to translate that faith into an action of great love to our fellow man ...this is our call of God.
We can also support those....and should....like Bro. Eddie who are willing to pay such a high price for being a missionary fulfilling ......The Great Commission.
As I hear he and Charlie in the background, laughing and talking, as I am writing this page...my heart leaps for joy that this great man of God is passing through our home, our family, our life. We are privileged to be a small part of blessing this awesome man of faith.
I ask you...to pray for Bro. Eddie....faithfully....
Also, I want to list his support church address which receives and distributes his finances for his mission work.
He returns to Kenya in October so please feel free to write him, mail or e-mail, and support financially any way you desire. Be it a one time $5.00 contribution or any other way you choose, God’s blessings will certainly be
upon you and your gift.
