Before the 9.0 earthquake and tsunami killed over 3000 people in Japan over the past couple days, the news was filled with reports on revolts in middle eastern countries leading to violence and dire humanitarian situations.
What intrigues me about these events is that they are happening in places where the gospel of Jesus Christ is largely unknown. Millions and millions of people in these countries have no idea that Jesus died on the cross and rose again to offer eternal life to the nations. And many have little or no access to hearing this wonderful message.
But what if there were dedicated followers of Christ who entered countries like these after natural disasters and political violence to meet their physical needs in the name of Jesus? Imagine the opportunities they would have to tell people about the cross!
We at Ball for Lives believe that these heart breaking events are an incredible opportunity for the Church of Jesus Christ to show His love and spread the gospel to the ends of the earth.
If you would like to donate to Japan or Libya relief, we encourage you to give to an organization whose chief desire is to share Jesus with the World. Join Ball for Lives in donating to SAMARITAN’S PURSE
The Lord works in mysterious ways and he will do so to reach the unsaved at all ends of the earth! Praises to Him in the midst of tragedy.
