I close my eyes letting the pastel pinks and navy blues of the sunset
settle in my memory. Suddenly, another wave of people head towards me. I
take a breath as I begin to pass out New Testaments again.
"my-uhn-fayyy," I try my best to pronounce with a big smile as they walk
by.
"Am I saying this right?"
Then I
remind myself what it is all about. These people may have never had a
chance to hear about Christ before, let alone know what a Bible is. This
may be there first taste of hope. So, what does it matter if they
continue to laugh at me? This could be their last opportunity to get the
Word. Who knows when they will ever come in contact with a Christian again?
It's moments like this that I want to make the most of, letting the adrenaline of the unexpected push me forward.
What
a blessing to be a part of the ministries I have been working with
here. I have learned so much about myself and about the world and
working with people. I have learned about the heart of God and about the
example that Jesus gave.
