The Bible and the Basket of Arang Batu

Coals = Arang Batu
The story is told of an old man who lived on a farm in the mountains of eastern Kentucky with his young grandson. Each morning, Grandpa was up early sitting at the kitchen table reading from his old worn-out Bible.His grandson who wanted to be just like him tried to imitate him in any way he could.
One day the grandson asked, "Papa, I try to read the Bible just like you but I don't understand it, and what I do understand I forget as soon as I close the book.

What good does reading the Bible do?"

The Grandfather quietly turned from putting coal in the stove and said, "Take this coal basket down to the river and bring back a basket of water." The boy did as he was told, even though all the water leaked out before he could get back to the house.The grandfather laughed and said, "You will have to move a little faster next time," and sent him back to the river with the basket to try again.This time the boy ran faster, but again the basket was empty before he returned home. Out of breath, he told his grandfather that it was "impossible to carry water in a basket," and he went to get a bucket instead. The old man said, "I don't want a bucket of water;
I want a basketof water. You can do this. You're just not trying hard enough," and he went out the door to watch the boy try again. At this point, the boy knew it was impossible, but he wanted to show his grandfather that even if he ran as fast as he could, the water would leak out before he got far at all. The boy scooped the water and ran hard, but when he reached his grandfather thebasket was again empty.Out of breath, he said, "See Papa, it's useless!""So you think it is useless?"
The old man said, "Look at the basket." The boy looked at the basket and for the first time he realized that the basket looked different. Instead of a dirty old coal basket, it was clean. "Son, that's what happens when you read the Bible. You might not understand or remember everything, but when you read it, it will change you from the inside out.

Share the GOOD news!!!

Interserve is a network of Christians from all over the world who, using their professional skills, work together to serve people of Asia and the Arab world - getting alongside them in tackling material, physical, mental and spiritual needs.

On the 25th of April 2008, we had the privillege to hear from a missionary frm Pakistan.
Often,when we hear about ppl in the mission field,we usually think tht tht person actually goes around the country preaching in churches or in some unknown part of the world and normally declares him or herself as a missionary if anybody ask...

But this lady tht came for our CU mtg recently shares the same purpose but,
in a different way.
In places like Pakistan and parts of the world where the gospel is not being allowed to be preached,ppl like this lady come in as social helpers and share the msg of hope as well.

Having lived and worked in Pakistan for 17 years,she shared that being Christlike is one of the most important things esp cos Pakistan is a Muslim country where you could be put into jail just for sharing abt Christianity.
Just by showing God's love,ppl cant help but start asking about her faith.And this becomes an opportunity to share about Jesus.
Prayer also,which many of us take forgranted is the most powerful weapon to reach out to ppl cos ppl are constantly in need of something and thts one of the best ways tht we can share with others about God's love.

After hearing what she shared I thought abt how we in Malaysia are so fortunate to be able to worship God freely,whatmore in schools where we are allowed to hv CU mtgs every Friday.Yet there are still many Christians who do not come or invite their friends to come.Not to kutuk anyone....but hey,shouldn't we be more supportive of the place where God has placed to reach out to our friends and classmates who hv nvr heard of him?=)

So,just wanna challenge u guys out there,to be the salt n the light of ur schs,wherever God has placed u,be a testimony of Christ.

And ya,keep this in prayer too:
1) The church of Pakistan n Afghanistan
2) For yourselves,tht God would use you in reaching out to others.
