It's been another week, which means another week of hard training and meditating on God's word. I unfortunately don't have any pictures or interesting stories for you today, poo... but I just wanted to recap on some of the pivotal things that God has taught me within the last week and how God has changed my heart so far.
I am not going to lie, this past week has been a tough little sucker. Can you believe I've already pulled two all-nighters trying to finish essays and whatnot. (like a true college student hehe) It was definitely my fault for not managing my time well enough but in light of these long nights, I have had so many great memories where I just chilled with my fellow brothers and sisters and shared about everything that was on our hearts.
Last training sunday, Pastor Richard spoke on the importance of missions and evangelism. Let me tell you, this seriously blew my mind. In a nutshell, he said that if God just wanted us to worship him, why wouldn't he just send us all up to heaven at this very moment and have us worship him there?? Interesting huh? This is because he wants us to glorify him by spreading the gospel here on earth. There are two kinds of ways we spread the gospel: through evangelism and through missions.
Through evangelism, we reach amongst the reached
ex) our campus, our clubs, work, etc.
Through missions, we reach amongst the unreached
| Total People Groups: | 16,587 | |
| Unreached People Groups: | 7,162 | |
| % People Groups Unreached: | 43.2 | % |
| World Population: | 7.03 | Billion |
| Popl in Unreached Groups: | 2.88 | Billion |
| % Population in Unreached: | 40.9 | % |
Thats a whole lot of people huh?.... EEKKK! Brothers and sisters, we've got some work to get done! If you want more information on the unreached people, go check out the joshua project! http://joshuaproject.net/
Thus, the greatest way to live passionately is to share the gospel to the lost and the unreached.
So you're wondering what I am going to do about this? Well, I have made the commitment to be BOLD and take the opportunities God provides to spread the gospel to my non-christian friends. And this summer, I can reach the unreached in Uganda and pursue the great commission there. Who knows where God will take me from there? All I can say is that I am excited!
The other day, my brothers Jeremy and Apple Josh had a good talk about how we have such a heart for our fellow students at UCLA. However, what was frustring was the fact that we have a desire to evangelize but we lack the BOLDNESS and the COURAGE to actually spread the gospel. In the end, all we could do for now was to pray for:
1. Boldness: that we would spread the gospel and invite them to come out to KCM/ our churches/ etc.
2. Wisdom: that we would maximize our opportunities by being able to see these good chances
3. Faith: that he would use us and believe that he has the power to do crazzyyy works to their hearts
4. Humility: that we would not focus on the fact that everything works in God's time, not our time.
We have so much to do! And this initiates starting now. I encourage you guys do the same :)
I'm so happy God has finally instilled in me a sense of urgency. Thank you God for continuously changing my heart to find compassion for your people.
