Who Would Think So?

Got to hear some traditional English accent from one of the directors of our partnership organization :) Quite interesting to hear about the different cultures.

After that conference call, the things that we would be doing overseas seems to be very challenging. Not the sharing the Gospel part, cause I trust that God will take charge of that. The challenging thing is...who would think that 1st world countries are much more extreme in being anti-Chrisitanity.

People say that it's hard for adults to believe in the Gospel, maybe that's true. The more you know, the more you think you know, the harder it is, because you would come into things with various assumptions, schema and stereotypes. This reminded me of having child-like faith:

^"People were bringing little children to Jesus to have him touch them, but the disciples rebuked them. When Jesus saw this, he was indignant. He said to them, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these. I tell you the truth, anyone who will not receive the kingdom of God like a little child will never enter it.” And he took the children in his arms, put his hands on them and blessed them." Mark 10:13-16

It was a very good reflection of what my faith is to me personally. Many challenges ahead...but I'll be keeping this in mind - before doing anything, we shall devote ourselves in prayer, be watchful and thankful (from Colossians 4:2).
