                                                              Mission to the Middle - March 2009
    
                                                                                   The Middle East is very complex.

THE PEOPLE WE MET. WE HEARD MANY STORIES FROM PEOPLE WE MET WHILE WE WERE OVER THERE, STORIES OF
STRUGGLES, PERSECUTION, PREJUDICE AND TORTURE. WE MET WITH PEOPLE FROM THE SUDAN, IRAQ, EGYPT, ISRAEL
JORDAN, PALESTINE, GERMANY AND AMERICA TOO. WE MET MISSIONARIES, REFUGEES, CHRISTIANS, MUSLIMS, PRIESTS,
PASTORS, JEWS, RABBIS AND REGULAR FOLKS LIKE YOU AND ME, TAXI DRIVERS, LABORERS, SHOP OWNERS AND THE
POOR. WE MADE FRIENDS AND THERE WERE THOSE WHO LOOK AFTER US WITH HOSPITALITY THAT WAS ABUNDANT.
THERE WERE THOSE MELON GUYS AT THE CITY OF THE DEAD, A TOWN OF MAUSOLEUMS WHERE THE VERY POOR TOOK
UP RESIDENCE.

THE MINISTRIES AND MISSIONARIES WE MET WHERE BRAVE PEOPLE WHO THROUGH THE BULLETS AND THE BOMBS,
GOVERNMENT RESTRICTIONS, PERSECUTION AND PERSISTENCE BUILT THEIR MINISTRIES AND BUILDINGS FOR THE
GLORY OF GOD. TO REACH THEIR PEOPLES IN A LAND WHERE MUCH OPPRESSION EXIST. THERE WERE SCHOOLS,
HUMANITARIAN MINISTRIES CARING FOR BABIES TO THE ELDERLY, EVANGELISTIC MINISTRIES AND CHURCHES FOR ARABS,
IRAQI REFUGEES, SUDANESE REFUGEES, HOUSE CHURCHES AND CAVE CHURCHES THAT HAVE COME UP FROM THE
RUBBISH CITY OF CAIRO.

THE REASONS WE WENT AND WILL CONTINUE TO GO IS TO REACH OUT TO THE LOST AND OUR BROTHERS AND SISTERS
WHO ARE BEING PERSECUTED FOR THEIR FAITH. TO ENCOURAGE THEM TO STAND FIRM IN THEIR FAITH IN JESUS CHRIST,  
EVEN AT TIMES WHEN THEIR VERY LIVES MAY BE COMPROMISED BY THEIR FAITH BUT TO NEVER LET THEIR FAITH BE
COMPROMISED BY THEIR LIVES. I CONFESS TO YOU THAT WE WENT FOR YOU AS WELL AS ME, SO THAT WE HERE IN
AMERICA MAY LEARN TO STAND ON OUR FAITH AND STEP OUT IN FAITH.  IT SO EASY HERE IN AMERICA. LET US NOT BE A
LUKEWARM PEOPLE AND LIVE A LIFE OF COMPLACENCY, BUT BE PASSIONATE FOLLOWERS OF JESUS CHRIST, EXERCISING
OUR FAITH BEYOND THE FOUR WALLS OF OUR CHURCHES. JOIN WITH US AS WE JOIN WITH THEM (THOSE ON THE FRONT
LINES).   “FOR WE ARE ONE BODY THE BODY OF CHRIST”
