"Not called!'" did you say? "Not heard the call," I think you should say. Put your ear down to the Bible, and hear Him bid you go and pull sinners out of the fire of sin. Put your ear down to the burdened, agonized heart of humanity, and listen to its pitiful wail for help.

Go stand by the gates of hell, and hear the damned entreat you to go to their father's house and bid their brothers and sisters and servants and masters not to come there.

Then look Christ in the face ~whose mercy you have professed to obey ~ and tell Him whether you will join heart and soul and body and circumstances in the march to publish His mercy to the world.

~doxology~

Thank you to all those who contributed financially to my trip to Pompay. The other night I was able to share with a dear friend that enough support had come in to cover the cost of my travel expenses. I am not sure why this surprised me. Gods hand and provision has been so evident... I should not have been so shocked. But I was. While I sat there in awe, silently looking at the names of those who had contributed, and praising God, my dear friend broke out into song...

Praise God from whom ALL blessings flow....

I have truly been blessed.
