This week I will be attending the Missions Conference at my church. I wish each of you could be with me and hear these gentlemen give their testimonies and then give us God's Word, some in their own languages.
Do you have any idea how many languages there are on earth right now? What would you guess? 200, 500? There are 7,000 languages used right now on earth and the Bible says there will be someone from every language in Heaven one day.
The four Missionaries that were with us yesterday were from Brazil, Cambodia, the Philippines, and Bolivia. To hear what they grew up with, and how they received Christ as their Savior would bless your heart.
The statement that stirred my heart was:
"They do so much with so little, and we do so little with so much."
If we cant go, and cant do anything but pray, that is what they asked for because they would be there, no matter what the circumstance.
This is the prayer card for one of the men from yesterday.......
I look forward to going tonight and hearing what God has prepared for me.
Great post Linda...It would do everyone's heart good to hear testimonies of God's love from people around the globe! I had no idea that there were that many languages! Enjoy tonight!
ReplyDeleteI, too, am surprised that there are 7,000 languages in use right now. Missionaries always give such moving testimony, and it is good for us to hear of the struggles of so many, and help as we can, including with our prayers. We have so much to be thankful for here. I look forward to hearing about each service! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteYou both are so kind to me, listening to me about my church. I know you are both Catholic, but you never ever say anything but nice things. Thank you. I would be the same toward you and your church. After all, we are all trying to get to the same resting place!
ReplyDeleteOur emphasis was on missions at church yesterday also (missions month) the missionary who was suppose to come was unable but pastor Joel had a great message and the awesome children sang and had part of the service too.
ReplyDeleteOh wow lots of languages!!!
It's a great big world but God wants his children to reach out in love and prayer and service!
What a wonderful blessing to hear these men speak. I had no idea there were that many languages!
