What a day!

Today was another great experience. We started off with a great new breakfast. The change was nice. We then went to another hospital and just loved all over them. God showed out today. One of the first things said to us was that we could not share. They wanted no part of that. Well guess what, don't tell God he can't because he will. Jeremy started playing the guitar as I sang along with him just praising God to the fullest extent we could. As we sang, the nurses and patients came out to listen. Someone asked what we were doing and what we were singing about and the door was wide open. The gospel had to be shared. I mean if someone asks it is rude to not tell them right. You cannot hold back the name of Jesus. He will prevail and his word will be spoken. If there is one thing I have learned as a Christian is that you you can't tell God you can't or won't. Because he will.

We then got a much needed rest. Well some of us did. A few ladies went and did some shopping. The smart ones took naps. After that we were invited to a Muslim festival. Think about this. 10,000 Muslims surrounding 20 Christians. Look at those numbers again. That is mind boggleing. The men and women got split up. The women walked around at the booths while the men were escorted back to chat with a few English speaking men from Malaysia and Thailand. They explained to us what the gathering was all about and what they believed. It broke my heart to listen to them knowing they believe in a false God and that all 10,000 people there were going to hell. We talked to another man who just got back from the same meeting in Bangledesh where there were 5 million who gathered. Wrap your head around that a minute. 5 million lost souls all in one place. That's 5 million people going to hell unless they realize they are living with a false hope and turn to Jesus.

Another eye opening experience from this trip is to see the hospitality and generosity of these people. Imagine this. You just had a baby two days ago and a strange foreign person walks in and asks to hold your baby. What do you do? Well most would look at them like they were out of their mind and tell them to go away. Well that scenario happened today with myself and Elizabeth but the complete opposite reaction occurred. The mom openly allowed Elizabeth to hold her baby while I took pictures. Later Andrea and Tracy went in and they rolled out a mat and set up fruit and drinks and asked them to eat and drink. I mean who does that? The Thai that's who. That is just one of many many stories of the hospitable things we have seen on this trip. The sad part is it just shows how selfish and hateful we Americans are. And how wrong we are in our thought process. Not only that but we are Christ followers. That should be second nature to us. But it isn't even in the ballpark of how we act. Just let that sink in. Jesus calls us to be like him! Why do we not strive for that? We act good, we read the bible, we go to church, but we don't strive hard enough to BE JESUS! And I promise I am speaking right to myself when I say all this. I pray we can just come home and bring that attitude of Jesus back with us. That we can bring back the love of Christ in our dailey walk and attitudes.

Sorry I got off on a tangent. Thanks for all the prayers and stay tuned for more.
