THE RACE - ISSUE 17
Isolation
In Luke 15: 7, Jesus said, "I tell you that in the same way,
there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents, than over
ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance."
Oh, the joy one
experiences when he gives his life to Christ! And Oh, the joy in heaven
when one repents of his sins!
Do you remember the time you gave your life
to Christ and the moment you entered into the community of believers? You
entered into a new family; you immediately had their love and
support.
You were not alone.
In Algeria, many are coming to faith
by listening to Christian radio programs and by watching Christian satellite
broadcasts. Yet, for most, once they find new life in Christ, they find
themselves alone. Isolated. Cut off from personal support.
They do
not know another Algerian Christian. Not a single one. They are isolated.
They cling to God because they do not have anyone with whom to pray or to
worship.
Abdullah is like many new Algerian Christians. After listening
to Christian radio programs for two years, he gave his life to
Christ. However, for almost two years, he was alone in his faith. "I
thought that I was the only Algerian Christian in the world! I had no
personal contact with any believers in Algeria."
Please, pray for
the thousands of Algerians who have responded to the Gospel from radio and
satellite programs. Pray that God would help them discover and experience
Christian fellowship.
No longer alone- part of the Family!
