#13.

Five years ago, I have planned to outreach gospel

ministry to the west and north west of our country
Ethiopia.
I shared my mission to the church leaders
whom I was ministering with. On our usual meeting I just
raised the idea. Except a pastor -the founder of the
church all the leaders refused me not to accomplish the
great mission. Their reasons were seemed true. There
was political problems and security issues around the
area I chose. That was true. The church has no budget to
send 12 ministers covering their costs. Above all, we
don’t take your risks and also we don’t give you letter.
I resist them on each reasons they raised.
1.I don’t look to the circumstances because our God is
above the circumstances. On
2. The budget can’t be the reason because the scripture
says on Luke 10 :4(KJV)
“ Carry neither purse, nor scrip, nor shoes: and salute no
man by the way.”
3 Their third reason was not to take risks. Here also the
scripture says Matthew 28 (KJV) 19-20
“ Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them
in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the
Holy Ghost:
20: Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I
have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you always,
even unto the end of the world. Amen.
So the other day I met some of the full time ministers
and shared the idea. I can’t forget how they were
energetic and interested. When we prepared to go forth
they asked to pray for us in front of the congregation.
After telling some information about the mission, we
received unexpected responses. Some people were
decided to go with us, some of them were started
collecting money.
