Wow, wow! This interview about the Church in the Middle East is so powerful! They are doing so many things right that we are doing so wrong in the Western world. https://youtu.be/1Ph30WlScRs
@tanjaostman Thanks for sharing this, Tanja. We in the US fast and pray both for revival and for our government to do what's right, and it seems that those prayers are not being answered. The other day I was looking for a set of bowls we sold on ebay for half an hour, and remembered to pray, "Lord, please help me to find... and before I finished a sentence prayer I was looking at them, so I know He still listens and answers us. Maybe God can use evil and/or foolish government actions to make people less comfortable and bring us revival. I'll challenge myself to connect with people, which doesn't come natural to me even without a mask and social distancing.
@Biblestudent thanks for that response! I've got the same personality as you - it doesn't come natural to me. I was extremely shy as a child. It's getting better. I think that those who are born extrovert are more often evangelists. Some people are called to write and reach intellectuals etc. The point is to be ourselves, but to challenge ourselves and step out of the comfort zone.
@tanjaostman how powerful. It made me search myself.
