I am currently in a country where outside communications is restricted and limited. In fact, it is a place that has controlled information flow for at least a few generations. Freedom of religion is something that has not been enjoyed over that same time. In fact, freedom of religion in its purest form is something that has been not truly enjoyed for centuries. Don’t get me wrong. Folks are interested. It is just that they have been restricted from pursuing their spiritual thoughts in an open public discourse.
But, there is a longing for connection and relationship. That is something that is as universal as love and hope and family. There is a longing for meaningful relationship. We have had occasion to connect some folks together who have not been connected other than their connection to our friends from another country. It is an important part of what we do. We connect people to our Lord and one another and opportunities to serve. That is why we are here. The powerful results are visible through a broadening impact upon the world through these connections. If only I could say more you would be amazed.
