One of our school leaders shared an experience of a friend of hers. Suzie, a photographer, travels around the world to different cultures and people groups. She not only takes photos of the people she meets, but also shares about Jesus and who He is. She was in India, in one of the major cities, and visiting prostitutes. She purposely went to go see a wparticular woman, she was know as the most beautiful prostitute. This woman had been sold into the sex trade at the age of three. Suzie spent time with her, taking her picture and sharing about Jesus, through a translator. She explained everything about God, the one God and creator, the promises of God, Jesus, His ministry, his claims and how He died to cleanse her sins. Suzie's words had this woman in tears. When Suzie was done speaking, the woman asked Suzie, "How long have you known this?" Suzie said that she was raised a Christian and has known her entire life. THen the woman asked, "How long has your country known?" Suzie tried to explain that her country has known for centuries and parts of the world have known for two thousand years. Lastly, the woman asked "Why hasn't someone told me this before?"
Why? There people all around the world who are assessible to get to and willing/wanting to hear about Jesus. Why then are they not told the good news? I felt extremely convicted when I heard this news. Who will spread the news? Jesus tells us to go and make disciples of all nations. Everyone deserves to hear. Everyone deserves to know. Everyone deserves the choice.
Then I heard the voice of the Lord asking, "who will go for uf and whom shall I send?" And I said, "Here am I, send me!"
