Our hearts rejoice in the Lord when an Agutaynen turns to Christ and believes in Him alone for their salvation. But sadly, there is another side of the story: those who reject Him and the Good News. It breaks hearts to see many of our neighbors who have done this. They have heard the clear Gospel presentation in their own language. They have even verbally agreed with the Bible. But in the end, they have walked away. They cling to their traditions and what they can do for God to earn their salvation. Oh how it breaks our hearts.
Recently, we invited a neighbor into our house to share lunch with us. As soon as Ginger started to mention the need to accept the gift of salvation, this neighbor practically ran out of our house. Both Ginger and I stood there shocked and couldn’t believe what just happened. In addition, this week, this neighbor and many others will celebrate a festival in honor of the village saint. They are spiritually blind and they cover their ears. We fell like the struggle for these souls has intensified.
Through your partnership, you too, stand with us as we continue to pray and proclaim the Good News of salvation through Jesus Christ.
