Hi Friends
Hope you are all doing great! In these days I started to share from 1 Corinthians and me and the teachers specifically discussed Paul’s words in 1 Cor. 1 which says:
|

For consider your calling, brothers: not many of you were wise according to worldly standards, not many were powerful, not many were of noble birth. But God chose what is foolish in the world to shame the wise; God chose what is weak in the world to shame the strong; God chose what is low and despised in the world, even things that are not, to bring to nothing things that are, : so that no human being might boast in the presence of God.

(1Co 1:26- 29)
As we discussed Gods Word the teachers looked at each other and said, “Paul is speaking about us, because just look at us, we are not wise, or powerful or of noble birth, to tell you the truth we look like fools in the worlds eyes” Brus then said, ‘Yes me and Alex were very bad people, we stole all the missionaries stuff, and worshipped our ancestors furthermore I do not have many gardens or any pigs’. Eddie then said, ‘Yes and I was a thief and wife beater’. Kamalus said, ‘And look I can’t even read properly.’ They then pointed to me and reminded me of who I was, a rebel, drunkard and drug addict who tried to commit suicide twice before the Lord saved me.

I then showed them that this is exactly the kind of people that God are looking for to use. People who know that they are nothing more than saved sinners. After this we all just became silent and struggled to talk, because who would ever think that the Creator of this World is looking for people like us to save, restore and use in His Kingdom.
Thanks for helping us and making it possible for us to share Gods Word with the Mengen people. And know you are making a major difference.
