| A couple of weeks ago, a friend from an island in the middle of the Pacific Ocean (known for its majority of Muslims), asked if I could help disciple a refugee from the Middle East. As I’ve met with him and facilitated three-thirds groups (discovery Bible studies), I’ve been reminded of just how much courage it takes to accept Jesus in some parts of the world.
This young man could lose everything.
In fact, last time our group met, we asked him point blank: “Are you prepared to lose your job, home, wife, kids, parents, future, and maybe even your life?” He hesitated only long enough to make sure he was answering seriously, “Yes, I’m ready.”
At Emerald Hills, we train workers who want to courageously leave everything, travel to the far ends of the earth, and share the Good News of Jesus. Their brave decision to go is often the catalyst for brave new local believers. But they can’t go alone.
When you pray, you fuel their fire to communicate Christ, along with the hope and help He brings to the world. When you give, your partnership brings encouragement and strength to our organization and our future. These acts of courage today can change someone’s eternity tomorrow. It’s easy to begin partnering with Emerald Hills through prayer or giving, just go here. Together, let’s advance Christ’s Kingdom and give all the praise and glory to Him.
Grace and Peace,
