A New Year’s Reminder
On New Year's Day, a news story broke that was, to me, a very sobering reminder of both the danger of our work, and the desperate need for it. Just weeks after I and five Americans returned from Sudan, a U.S. diplomat was shot and killed in an attack in the city we stayed in.
The story impacted me on a very personal level, just because of its proximity to my own travels, but then I realized that in spite of that personal impact I can only imagine what it must be like to be a Christian living in Sudan. Even though I have met them, heard their stories and seen their needs, I can only begin to comprehend what life must be like in a place where everything they believe is hated to the point of violence.
But even my small comprehension drives home to me just how great the need is for the work of Remember. Truly, these believers have no place to turn–except to us, the Body of Christ. And why should they turn anywhere else? We are called to meet their needs.
Remember's goal is to expand in as many directions as God allows us to in 2008. The possibilities are endless, and as God opens doors we will jump through them! Won't you join us? Your prayers are the power from which we derive our success–and a direct blessing to the people that we serve together.
