Skyping for His Glory
Melanie's Meditations
December 4, 2014
Yesterday I was able to speak with one of the mission workers serving in our PACE work. She is new to mission work and new to this field. She has started language school and is doing well, but she is an extravert and she wants to communicate now!!! I was able to talk with her in English to give her a little break from constantly trying to speak her new language. I was also able to encourage her and most importantly I was able to pray with her. Today, I am thanking God for technology and how tools like “Skype” can be used to His glory!

Praying at ICOM and More Encounters at the Wall

Just as we had finished setting up the lobby Wall and the adjacent special Wall of twenty-five highlighted people groups, an Columbus Convention Center executive stopped as he was walking by and engaged a few of us in conversation. The brightly colored, beautifully designed twenty-five groups Wall had especially caught his attention, and he wanted to know all about it. We discovered that he is one of the elders at Leave a Mark Church in Columbus. He was so impressed that he promised to bring another Leave a Mark leader to visit the Wall before the convention concluded. You might say the Wall is making its own mark with those who want to Leave a Mark!

I was reading a news update from Lifeline Christian Mission this morning and they were reporting on the Christians who meet in a humble home two thirds of the way up an active volcano mountain in El Salvador. One hundred percent of their members are currently suffering a failed coffee crop brought on by a terrible disease that destroyed 88% of the plants. Yet, you would never know it from the great sound of singing, warm greetings, hugs and praise that was rising from the humble church declaring “God is good, all the time; all the time God is good!” over and over in over in Spanish.

Encounter at the Wall

The Wall of Unreached Peoples is always a reminder to me of how great is the task yet remaining on behalf of those who do not know that Jesus is the Son of God and Savior of their souls. Each time I see the Wall’s panels, listing almost 7,000 unreached people groups, displayed at a convention, I am prompted to make it a personal goal to pray through all of those groups before the convention ends. The most recent North American Christian Convention was no exception.
