And Jesus said unto them, Go ye into all the
world, and preach the gospel to every creature.
Mark 16:15
The Lord is full of mercy, compassion, blessings, and surprises, too. And He has been faithful to grant me the desires of my heart. And one of these desires is to be used by the Lord to share the gospel throughout the world. This is happening!

Recently the Webmaster for AriseandShine.org forwarded to me an email from a Christian in Pakistan. He'd been inspired by my writings and wrote to tell me so. But how awesome it is for me to have the opportunity to inspire and encourage people from all walks of life even as I sit in a prison cell. Only God could do something like this, and I thank Him continually.
Here, then, is a portion of this Christian's letter:
"Dear Brother... I am writing from Pakistan. I am working with the destitute and poor Christians in areas where the Christian families do not have access to the Word of God. We read your sermons and messages from your website for the past year. We read them regularly and try to convey them to our people. As they are in English it is impossible for our people to read them. We have always been trying to find such valuable and precious teachings for my people to get involved in. Such teachings are the closest source to get right with God for believers.
We have the task to get such teachings translated into Urdu and Punjabi languages for the people who are not able to go through this informative material in English, a foreign language. I really wish to translate your teachings into Urdu and Punjabi... This will bring a lot of blessings for Urdu and Punjabi speaking people... There is nothing more precious than to hear the Word of God in your own languages..."
Lord willing, I hope to share my response to this man in a future journal entry in January 2008. Please, I ask my Christian brethren who read my journal, to pray for our brothers and sisters in Pakistan. It is a nation where Christians are often persecuted and mistreated because of their faith in Christ.
Thank you.
