A Personal Call To Prayer
By Nancy Lawson
September 2009
Today I want to challenge you to persistent prayer for our KS/NE missionaries serving oversees. I hope the following letter will be an encouragement for you to do so:
“I’ve lived here for one year now. I’ve spent considerable time feeling frustrated, confused, and broken. When this is one’s focus/job, then 90 percent of your time goes to thinking about these friends and neighbors. I constantly try to think of strategies, arguments, and answers. To me the answer of J is so obvious. Why can’t they see the disconnect between what they believe and how they really feel? Do they honestly think G is that distant and strict that he would command so much and in the end weigh their deeds on a balance beam?
“My head is spinning out here and far too often I get discouraged. But this is my journey and I’m finding that the answer He brings me to every time is: Pr. Pr always. Pr and watch. Pr and listen. Listen and obey. And the other answer: Live well in their eyes. Live upright. Live like C did. Win the right to speak into their lives. So true the words: G chose the foolish, the weak, the base and despised things so that there is no doubt who gets the glory. First book of Corinth chapter one.
“I’m tired sometimes and my heart is heavy, but after one year I still wouldn’t go home for anything. May He continue to work in me personally all that He intends for me to learn and may my life somehow be used to His glory to help these precious women and families find the true way home. Thank you for journeying with me and most of all going to Him on behalf of the SA people of my city.”
From one of our Kansas-Nebraska Last Frontier M’s.
