2am… I’m sitting on my balcony pondering God’s will in my life….
Lately I have been studying a lot into unreached groups within the 10/40 window. I don’t know why I never had an interest before until recently. I’m guessing it was fear. Fear of the unknown. Especially with the muslim culture. My guess is that 9/11 casted a lot of judgement on that culture. But lately I have finding myself learning more about Islam. I got to experience some of their practices during muslim night at my missions class last week. I actually felt less distracted in my worship in some of their ways. I am going to a seminar on the Pakistan culture in a couple of weeks. I am looking forward to it.
I have always had a heart for the hispanic community. But I feel a great responsiblity in learning more about those cultures where the gospel isn’t being spread. 90% of missionaries go to regions where the gospel is prevalent and churches are already rooted. The muslim culture is being ignored. I’m hoping being exposed to the Buddhist culture in Cambodia will really be a step in my faith to push myself into learning more about the muslim culture. I feel I need to not let Satan not take over my confidence in spreading the good news to not only those within my own society. I need to step out of my comfort level.
