The power of a story

As Christ followers we generally love hearing stories of people who are fresh recipients of God's grace. Last week I sat with a man in Kansas who moved to the USA after finding Christ in Bombay India. He shared how difficult it is to win a Hindu to Christ in India and yet boldly shared his story of transformation. Now when he is not teaching Missions and Evangelism at Barclay College he returns to Bombay to share the life and love of Jesus with his fellow countrymen.

Dr. Prosperly's story is stimulating to hear. However, it is really not much different than yours or mine. The name and location may be different but the need was the same. We were lost and needed a Savior. There is power in each of our stories and we should share them as often as we can with one another in the Way, in the meetinghouse when we gather for corporate worship, and when we engage others who may not have a story with Jesus yet.

I got to share my story a few times while visiting in Kansas last week and it felt good. Tell someone your story today. Let God encourage you and bless others through your testimony!

Thanks for stopping by!
