This past Saturday and Sunday was the 55th annual Georgia Christian Missionary Rally at East Point Christian Church.  I was honored to  be able to set up a display about El Oasis and Globalscope.  It was great to meet new people and share with each other about all that God is doing around the world.

It was really an encouraging time.  There were some great speakers and worship.  A few things that I took away from the speakers are:

-Don’t take the Bible lightly.  One man spoke of smuggling tiny Bibles into North Korea and the desire for the people to have “that book” even though it meant risking their personal welfare and safety.  It really made me think how I often take God’s word for granted.

– Love your enemies.  We were challenged to love our enemies.  Many of us put terrorists into that category.  Adam Riggs, a student and missionary to Yemen, challenged us to  change our hearts and pray for terrorists.   He is making plans to share God’s love in the Muslim world.

– Tim Hudson of UGA CCF reminded us to really love people.  To first acknowledge and be transformed by God’s love for us.  And out of that love that we experience, we are then capable to love others.

Thanks to all who I met for the first time and asked about Globalscope and El Oasis.
