Go therefore and make disciples of all the nations...
Today was another day of taking our youth to reach out to the community around our church here in Louisville. Only this day entailed a couple of surprises. I was shocked to find three blocks from our church, the nations. Most of you right now are thinking, "Bubba what could you possibly be getting at?" Well this afternoon, three blocks from my church, I met some boys from Kenya, a boy from Zimbabwe, a girl from Croatia, and a young man from Romania. This was three blocks from a lily-white Southern Baptist Church. I was astounded and amazed. What an opportunity to fulfill the Great Commission in our backyard...
They all play soccer every Friday night, and we are going to try to go and engage them in order to further previous discussion about the Gospel.
On my immediate left is the young man from Zimbabwe and the rest are the guys from Kenya.
We must everyday realize that the nations are here amongst us. The communities in which we live are yearning for the Gospel. We will one day stand before an almighty God and answer for our engagement or neglect of the communities around us that are so very accessible. I pray that you will engage them. They truly contain the nations.
As I write I am sitting in Waffle House (late night studying). There are two young Muslims who work here named Bazz and Stezen from the Ivory coast (pictured below). I have been trying to engage them in discussion, in order to share the Gospel with them. Pray for their salvation.
We must not stop until we have successfully engaged the nations immediately all around us. We must speak to nations. We must trample the strongholds of darkness in our backyards...Godspeed!
