Wow!! Never thought I would be in Greenland; Saw it in the news and in documentaries but never thought about being there. Before that, however, I have had an incredible time in the Philippines and also in Singapore. Ministering to people, particularly God's people is such an incredible privilege. To be a source of encouragment and support to them is a blessing from the Lord.
In Baguio I have been able to help trained between 45-55 young 'Missionary In Training'. The training is for men and women to develope a consistent devotional life with the Lord. After all, isn't our relationship to Him more important than our work for Him? Helping to see the value of Life in Christ has helped individuals to want to live a life with Christ and to stick with Him. This message has been shared also in Greendland and in Liverpool just recently. The response to these messages has always been outstanding when the Lord opened the eyes of our hearts. Without exception, each time the challenge was given many made a recommitment to the Lord to walk humbly and consistently with Him. As mentioned in my previous post, it is not only the hearers that gets challenge but the messanger himself, because it is a fresh reminder for him too.
Now to Greenland- Greenland is the biggest island in the world with a tiny population of about 55,000 people scattered throughout the country. The Greenlandic people has Mongolian descendents, and I look just like them. I fit right in whenever I was there. Greenland is also a Danish colony with past Norwegian missionary influence with now many Faroese Christians coming over to live and work here. It's quite a fascinating place. I arrived at -20 degrees celsius. The capital Nuuk has bout 15,000 people with only a handful of believers that needs a lot of encouragement and challenge. A God conscious life is much needed in order to make a conscious God-like or godly influence in the society that they or we live in. The Lord has spoken so very clearly to many about this that the response has been very very encouraging. I wish I am able to write the different things people said and do in response to His word. Do continue to pray for the Lord's hand to be upon His messengers that He may continually pour His Spirit upon them too.
Well I will have to finish here for now but will update as soon as I can put more things in. Have a great day.
