20 Years Ago

The Berlin Wall came tumbling down...

But, I can't help remembering 22 years ago when my dad spent a month smuggling bibles behind that iron curtain. And not just him - there was a whole group of them at the time who smuggled bibles, snuck Christians in and out into safety, brought aid, some were even imprisoned. What a remarkable thing to be a part of and the stories would blow you away!!!

Let us not take our freedom in Christ here in America for granted! Also, Let us not think that this is how it will always be either. While we freely go to church, talk about God, and share the gospel with those around us - there are others who are giving up their very life to do those simple things we find to be common place. They are torn from their families, abandoned, tortured, murdered, All because they believe and follow Jesus. They have counted the cost and decided whole heartedly that a life lived for Christ is more precious than their very blood.

Happy 20 years Berlin Wall and thank you to all the believers who went behind her many years ago to bring the great message of Hope and redemption to a lost people. Thank you to all of the Christians who still- to this day- are going secretly under heavy curtains and over tall walls in the name of Christ. I pray the Lord keeps you in his care, that you act in boldness, and that the hearts of the people would be soften and ready for the word of truth!
