Count it all Joy—Reflections on Suffering
Count it all Joy—Reflections on Suffering
Suffering in all of its various forms is a central theme of the Bible. How we respond to the suffering and injustice around us, or that which we personally experience, matters to God. From Haiti to India and Georgia to Southern Africa, YWAMers have stood alongside those suffering through a variety of situations in 2008, and in many cases have suffered themselves because of their Christian witness.
In the December prayer letter, YWAM Chairman Lynn Green presents thoughts on a Christian response to suffering, followed by reflections on suffering from around the world, told by those who’ve experienced suffering personally or were working closely with those who suffered. We are exhorted in the Bible to “consider it pure joy” (James 1:2) and to stand in the gap for those who are suffering, which we ask you to do during your prayer time on Thursday, December 4.
Additional resources. Here's a link to a Gregory Boyd video teaching about suffering: [ javascript:void(0);/*1227784405635*/ ]http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=4228731679569222656&hl=en.

An Amazing True Story about the Zhuang
This is a story written by a long-term missionary about what happened
in the town he is working in among the Zhuang:
Almost 50 years ago, an American missionary shared with a man within the government. It just so happened that when the Communists took over China, this man was arrested and executed along with countless others. However, because this missionary had shared with him, he believed in Jesus and had told his 2 sons that they should also believe in Jesus, the only way to God. Because of their father's execution, both sons tried to escape. One attempted an escape to Hong Kong without success. One attempted an escape to Taiwan with success. But before leaving, he wrote down what he remembered of the story of Jesus on a scroll for the brother that did not make it out. He kept this scroll and constantly told his family for over 50 years that they should believe in Jesus, although he did not know how or what they should do, not having a Bible or knowing any other Christians.
In 2007, God....
To be continued...
