A lot has happened this week in many different ways! This week Rebecca and I had Arabic every day. We also taught English a total of 16hours, separately. So, for those reasons we are very tired. We are also meeting with contacts as much as possible, trying to witness to them in due time.
I think the major thing that has happened this week was that God's name was glorified in prison. Tuesday morning an American student and a national believer left for a 2week trip to pass out cds, mp3s, and Bibles to people they came in contact with. Wednesday we receive a call saying that they had spent the night in jail! The story goes along that they were meeting a guy to give him a Bible, but when they got there the guy had brought the police along with him. So, the police took our friends to jail. They got questioned, they did get scuffed up some, but they were let go. While they were in jail they witnessed to people and were a testimony for the Lord. The police did take all the Bibles, mp3s, and cds that they had brought, but the guys are fine and they are continuing on their journey.
It was weird that that happened on Tuesday and Wednesday, because on Wednesday I read in 1 Corinthians about how we are called to preach the Gospel of Christ, whether we suffer for it or not. It is very easy for me to just walk past these people and not say anything about Christ, because I don't want to get hurt or put in jail. But, if I don't care enough for these people, then who's going to tell them?
I'm sure we all know people who we see every day that they are saved, but do we care enough to open our mouth? At least in America they speak English and we're not going to be thrown in jail for telling them! Just a challenge to love people you see every day and always be a testimony for Him!
Thank you for praying, and continue to pray for my friends as they will be returning in a few days!
