AN ATHEIST TRULY BELIEVES THAT AFRICA NEEDS THE GOSPEL!
WHAT DID YOU SAY?
I SAID THAT AN ATHEIST TRULY BELIEVES THAT AFRICA NEEDS GOD!
I have read many books and articles, but what I read here in a letter from Biblesinaction is really extraordinary. I almost find it hard to understand. The letter from Biblesinaction is dated 18 March 2009. I will not quote from the letter, but I will write what I find hard to understand in my own words. Here we go:
There is an atheist, a confirmed atheist who truly believes that Africa needs God. He knows about the passivity of the people’s mindset. He says that that is the biggest problem in Africa. And the solution? Not aid money! What is the solution? MISSIONARIES! MISSIONARIES! And that says an atheist.
He compares Christian Evangelism with the work of secular government projects. He says that international aid efforts alone will not do. He says education will not do it either. But he says the gospel is changing hearts. Praise the Lord!
WHO WANTS TO GO AS A MISSIONARY TO AFRICA?
The BIBLE and the NEWSPAPER
THE BOOKMARKER
When I walked into town today a small piece of paper lying on the road took my attention. I picked it up and was holding a beautiful bookmark in my hand. It was no ordinary bookmark. The whole of Psalm 23 was written on one side and it was almost like new. I am not in the habit of picking up paper from the road. Don’t get me wrong.
After finishing my business in town, walking home on Commerce Street in our beautiful town of Kaitaia, I met somebody I have talked to on a number of occasions. I offered the bookmark to that person – but was told that that bookmark was for me today. Very good!
Further on on the same street I ran into the retired teacher. He was headmaster in a school many years ago, where I taught BIS. (Bible in Schools) I have met him before here in Kaitaia. But this time he had bad news. His wife had died not long ago and he told me about another death and his best friend is very sick.
We talked of course about eternal life and he received the bookmark gladly. Psalm 23:1-6

On another occasion some time ago I found a brand new Christian magazine (“IN TOUCH”) latest edition on the side of the road. I delivered the magazine straight away to a man who lived in one of the next houses.

“BEAUTIFUL WOMEN”
Humility and Faithfulness
In my daily reading of the Word of God I have come to Numbers 12, where Moses has to deal with opposition.
Two things are said about Moses at the beginning of the chapter:
1. very humble
2. faithful
GOLDEN NUGGET
Hebrews 13:5
“NEVER WILL I LEAVE YOU.”
Who is “worrying about being number 1”?
“Of course, in the twenty-first century it seems that comparing oneself to others and worrying about being number 1 are national and corporate obsessions.”
John Wooden
I am reading that in the book by John Wooden called “The Essential Wooden A Lifetime of Lessons on Leaders and Leadership”.
What does the BIBLE, the Word of the Living God say?
“They came to Capernaum. When he was in the house, he asked them, ‘What were you arguing about on the road?’ But they kept quiet because on the way they had argued about who was the greatest. Sitting down, Jesus called the Twelve and said, ‘If anyone wants to be the first, he must be the very last, and the servant of all.'”
Mark 9:33-35
