I feel that it's buring on the inside as I am writing this. The the flame that God lit 16 years ago when I was saved has gotten oxygen and is burning stronger and clearer than ever before!
Do you know that there are around 2,800,000,000 people that belong to people groups that have NEVER heard of Jesus yet?
You and I have heard so many times; maybe you lift your hands in worship in your church every Sunday while enjoying the presence of God. Maybe you are genuinly grateful to have close friends at church, cook for them, play games, see your favorite TV-show together, discuss the celebrity culture and share receipts. Maybe you even meet sometimes to pray or have Bible study where you talk about eschatology, pre-adamitic creation or the book of Job.
While you are doing this, living in a nice town house or a modernly decorated apartment, while the espresso is almost ready and your toast is getting warm and tasty; while you are thinking of how blessed you are with good friends, that you just found THAT shirt on sale and how glad you are for your gym-membership.
At that same time a Nepali man is tormented by evil spirits, a Somali 12-year old girl is bleeeding, her body shaking in pain from the blade that just her during female mutilation, a bedouin is lokking up at the stars wondering if there's a God who listens and a teenager in the slums of Colcatta is cutting herself, chewing on the drugs while thinking that life is hopeless.
Who will get out of that comfort zone and take the Nepali man, the Somali girl and Indian by the hand? Who will look into their eyes and love them? Who will fight for them? Who will share the love of God and the powerful, life changing gospel of Jesus with them?
My heart isn't hard or judging towards anyone, please don't misunderstand me! I believe that God let's us enjoy our blessings and our rich lives. But, my heart is bleeding and crying over these people! And the fact that so few Christians are willing to do something...
"But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well."
"And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all nations..."
I have cried this weekend, closed my eyes and seen the unreached, heard their SOS signals in the darkness again. The calling is clearer than ever before.
I am praying humbly, but boldly, that God would give me, or someone else, anyone, a powerful Apostolic and prophetic voice that will shake Christianity and a slumbering generation. I am prying to God to be part of releasing a new, young generation, adveturers that don't care about the latest trend or most hipp stuff, but want to go on adventures. A new mission-wave that will fill the earth with God's adventurers, backpackers for Jesus!
You have a passport, you have a backpack; arise young, strong people and become part of something bigger than yourself. Bigger than anything else on earth; God's dream to reach the unreached!
If you live in the US; contact me. Come to Modesto CA, be trained and challenged to be sent out! If you live in Europe; go to SOS Church Stockholm, Sweden, there you can catch the fire!
You are more than what you have become! You are a history maker and a world shaker!
