Recently I have been made aware of a section of our own town who seem to be unreachable. Not because they lack the ability to be reached, but it seems as though because of some of the circumstances they are in, or that surrounds them, makes reaching out to them difficult or undesirable. One might say it makes them slightly fearful to undergo such an outreach if you have never been involved in any such before.
Several days before I was made aware of this, I have been going over and over 2nd Timothy 1:7 in my head, even to the point where I would wake up at night saying this verse again and again: "For God hath not given us a spirit of fear: but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind."
Also, for reasons unknown to me the verse of 2nd Timothy 1:8b, "but be thou partaker of the afflictions of the gospel according to the power of God."
I am filled with an overwhelming desire to teach these whom God have laid on my heart. To show them God as I see him. To love him as I love him. To want to please him as I want to please him. To depend on him as I depend on him. To let God fill them with the desire to reach others as he has filled me.
Just as recently as last night, Jeff has also revealed that God has shown him there is a need in this same area and is asking God for direction as to what he would have him do.
Please pray for us as we wait on God to direct us in this matter.
