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.
