“And thus I [Paul] make it my ambition to preach the gospel, not where Christ has already been named, lest I build on someone else’s foundation, but as it is written, 'Those who have never been told of him will see, and those who have never heard will understand.'” (Romans 15:20-21 ESV)
I came across these verses last night and have been thinking about them all day. My mind and heart has been directed to friends--brothers and sisters in Christ--who are living in North Africa, Egypt, and Malaysia for the sake of Christ and His Gospel. They are being obedient to God's call to "Go and make disciples of all nations..." (Matt. 28:19-20).
Father, protect these dear saints. Encourage their faith and their families. Strengthen their marriages. May their children grow up in your ways and be protected from bitterness and rebellion. Meet their needs with your provident grace. Use them to bring the light of Your Gospel to the darkness of these lands. Amen.
