When Trouble Comes!

“What’s next?” is the most asked question by people everywhere.

Economies, politics, future are the buzz words around the world. Human trafficking, terrorism, ethnic cleansing, wars, disease, natural disasters, and hopelessness cross economic, social, educational, and ethnic lines and everyone suffers.

When people struggle to survive and look for something to hang on to, receptivity to the Good News soars and opportunities to share the love of God are everywhere. People clamor for a chance to receive a copy of the Bible, to study God’s Word with Christians and to find answers and hope for their devastated lives.

Together we have responded to this call from Kosovo, Ethiopia, Croatia, Poland, Guyana, Romania, Laos, Albania, Georgia CIS, Cambodia, Sri Lanka, Vietnam, and Indonesia and thousands are now children of God and will one day meet you in heaven as a result of your caring and sharing when trouble came.

We are currently in Myanmar (Burma) where upheaval and hopelessness reign and where God has been at work for years, preparing the hearts of men and women to receive His love. A window of twenty eight days is all the time we have been given to study God’s word with the countless people here seeking hope. Recent political events have renewed the longing for hope that has been in their hearts for years. Some have studied the Bible via correspondence with you and when others came, they studied with some but the time was to short and they were left alone. Some of these same people have come to study with us this month and have made progress but again we are forced to leave just when they are wrestling with decisions to give their lives to God. Every day more come, University students, Gold merchants, Government employees, Lawyers and doctors inquiring if we can study with them and the line of those wanting to study gets longer.
