Zooming Around the World

And Jesus said unto them, Go into all the the
​world and preach the gospel to everyone.
Mark 16:15

God is full of surprises… 

I was recently invited to speak at a regional gathering for members of the Full Gospel Businessmen's Fellowship in Ontario, Canada, that was to be held on January 14th at seven o'clock in the evening in the City of London. A retired orthopedic surgeon wrote asking if I would be willing to address the group via Zoom. He also provided me with his contact information. But unfortunately I had to decline because I have no access to the Internet, and therefore no ability to utilize Zoom.

I was however honored and humbled by the invitation. I have never communicated with this man or his fellowship group before, and yet he and the president of the chapter wanted me as their speaker.

Under normal circumstances, I would've gladly accommodated them if I had access to Zoom or a similar technology. And this was not the first time I have received requests to address various audiences. Churches, youth ministers and counselors who work with at-risk kids, schools, and mental health workers have written, too.

God knows how much I would love to share my story of redemption with the world, along with the opportunity to encourage people from all walks of life with a message of hope. I also want to provide young persons with a cautionary tale that will encourage them to make wise decisions, and what may happen if they don't.

Being able to Zoom would be a good thing. I am praying for this to happen one day.
