Hi there, this is the last entry I'm writting here. I've been looking at wordpress for bloging and I've found it easier to work with and nicer as well. So I'm moving! I'll continue to think and wonder on:

Passing By
The earth is the Lord’s,
And everything in it,
The world,
And all who live in it;
For He founded it upon the seas
And established it upon the waters.
Who may ascend the hill of the Lord?
Who may stand in His holy place?
He who has clean hands and a pure heart
(Psalm 24:1-4a)
Show me your ways, O Lord,
Teach me your paths;
Guide me in your truth and teach me,
For you are God my Savior,
And my hope is in you all day long.
(Psalm 25:4-5)

a Well
"You cannot bring this foreign religion and corrupt the minds of our people," screamed the angry villagers. "If you don't stop, we'll kill you."
Prabahulal, a Gospel for Asia native missionary, received this dire threat when he first started his church-planting work in rural Rajasthan, India. And things didn't exactly improve when the first villgers received Christ as Savior. They were hated, branded as low castes and treated as dirt.
The believers were not even allowed to draw water from the public well. This was an enormous harship for the Christians, especially the women, during the hot summer months. They had to walk long distances to ger water and carry heavy pots home on their heads.
In spite of the animosity and opposition, however, their number grew. Some 75 to 80 people gathered for worship each Sunday...
Then, last October, God rewared the faithfulness of these dear brothers and sisters through one of Gospel for Asia friends who sponsored the drilling of a Jesus Well in their village.
Imagine the joy of the Christians when they received their own well as a gift from the Lord and from the Body of Christ! And just try to picture the amazement of their "enemies" when the believers invited them to draw water freely from the Jesus Well!
Within a month, the hostile attitude of the villagers began to change. They became friendlier and started to intereact with the believers as they drew water for themselves and their cattle. Most of all, the Jesus Well opened the door for Prabhulal and the other believers to build relationships and share the Gospel with those who formely refused to listen.
You see, each Jesus Well as has inscription that encourages those who draw water to ask the missionaries for an explanation. The inscription reads: Jesus Christ says: "Whoever drinks of this water will thirst again, but whoever drinks of the water that I shall give him will never thirst. (John 4:13-14)
Consider this: Jesus promised a reward to those who give a cup f water to one of His followers (Mark 9:41). Today, through a Jesus Well, you have the opportunity to provided a river of life to an entire village in His name!
The average cost to drill one of these wells is 1000$. With this month's moneys, we'll sponsor one. I know we won't get 1000$, but please, as you seek to help our brothers and sisters outside our America to bring the Gospel to people who never heard about Jesus, please give. Send Gospel for Asia your few bucks, send me your few bucks so we can add everybody's bucks to this bank and send a little more together a the end of this month.
By the way, our 18$ was sent for June & July, just today.
Thank you!
