The sun rises and sets, the rivers and lakes rise and fall with the rains, birthdays and anniversaries pass; many things go unchanged in a world wrestling with the fear of a war, politics and pandemics.
Children laugh and play as usual. Until they don’t.
The threats and actual harm that come to children at the hands of adults who should be guarding and nurturing them is an atrocity. It is not a new thing. It has happened for generations. It is multiplied where the Gospel is absent from the lives of the adults. Where communities value pleasure more than worship of the God who created man (and children) in his image. When the Gospel is shared and absorbed the care of children increases and thereby their safety. The Gospel has the power to change lives.
Minimization of the importance of the church and is a threat to the serious nature and necessity of knowing Christ. This is a serious threat to the spread of the Gospel. It is not just knowing ABOUT HIM but actually repenting of sin and knowing him. We simply have to help native believers share in their own culture and language the hope of Christ.
Thank you for being a part of our advance into places where the Gospel is absent and children are abused.
Please stay connected as much as your life allows.
