Thoughts from Thessalonians

We have been reading through Thessalonians over the last week or so and it has so much to say about going to a new people to share the Gospel. Please pray for us that when we go to the Fulani, we may have the same attitude that Paul had, going to the Thessalonians, that the Gospel may come to them "not simply with words, but also with power, with the Holy Spirit and with deep conviction." May we live among the Fulani in a way worthy of imitation (1 Thess 1:6). May we dare to tell the Gospel even if there is strong opposition ( 1 Thess 2:2). How amazing that God should approve us to be entrusted with the Gospel ( 1 Thess 2:3). I just find this verse so humbling; it's astonishing that God would trust me to take His precious Gospel to a people who haven't yet had the opportunity to hear it. May we be worthy of his trust, loving the people and sharing our lives with them, living holy, righteous and blameless lives, so that they can really see Christ in us. (1 Thess 2: 8-12). Please do pray for us along these lines. God bless all who read this and do feel free to post a comment.
