I am continuing to earnestly pray for those living in the Canadian far north...
...especially for miners and their families, as well as for missionaries and ministers who are laboring for the Lord in this remote part of the world.
And I am also praying for a generation of youth who may think they have no hope and are turning to drugs, alcohol, and even suicide to escape the emotional pain of a life without purpose. These are matters the Lord has placed on my heart and mind, and so pray I must.
And, along these lines, I will often find myself thinking about those old time preachers from many years ago, when America was a young nation, and how they'd travel on horseback to preach the gospel. They would travel from town to town, always on the move.
Many of these traveling preachers lacked in the area of making disciples of new converts because they moved around often. After all, above all else they were evangelists first, and not necessarily teachers of Bible doctrine. Yet, they were used by God to bring the knowledge of Jesus Christ to a lawless frontier. From the hills of Kentucky to the fields of Iowa, and from the wild gun battling towns in Kansas and Texas, roving preachers spread the good news of a better life through Christ.
I think this was something I would've loved to do. But for me, it would mean heading into the Canadian north in search of souls.
