"I'm Forsaking Christianity"
At a New Year's Eve party in Bulgaria, an MTW missionary learned that a guest he'd never met had recently stopped going to church. The missionary introduced himself and asked for more of this man's story. Was he forsaking Christianity or just stepping away from church? The 21-year-old man was eager to talk and admitted that yes, he was forsaking Christianity.
His reason? He felt that his own fallenness and tendency to sin put him in a different category than all the other church goers. He was living under a self-condemning delusion, believing that surely no one else sins like he does. The hour-long conversation became a refreshing opportunity for the missionary to speak to this new friend about the Father who eagerly receives prodigal sons.
Please pray for this young man to be fully reconciled to Christ. And thank God for missionaries-the missionaries you support-who are willing to seize opportunities to talk about grace. Thank you for your faithful investment in the work of Christ's kingdom.
