2012I pray because I can’t help myself. I pray because I’m helpless. I pray because the need flows out of me all the time- waking and sleeping. It doesn’t change God- it changes me.

9//Motivation
There is a man that we pass every morning who is perched on a little mound of dirt at the side of the road. He finds himself seventy five meters from one of the busiest intersections in Kampala. In one direction it takes you to the highway. It’s the intersection that has most the the car flow the city will see for the day. It doesn’t matter what route we take to and from the city - we always have to pass through this intersection.
This little mound that he has claimed as his spot is ten feet from the railroad tracks that go throughout the entire city of Kampala and all the little towns connected to it. Thousands of people walk in and out to work using the tracks. This man sees millions of people a day. They walk past him, some ignoring him, some almost reciting the scripture he wanted to focus on that morning.
We’ve gotten to know him over the past couple months as our bus snails in front of him in the middle of morning traffic. Now when we pass him in the morning, he waves with his bible and tells us to have a good day, and that God will bless us today. All he has is the clothes on his back and a bible in his hand. He goes and preaches the gospel of Jesus Christ on the side of the road rain or shine.
That’s difficult for me. He challenges me. Thinking of how much prosecution he gets with all sorts of people passing him in the morning. Thinking in my worldly brain that I wouldn’t have the strength to do that once let alone all day everyday. He may be the only Jesus someone will ever know. He’s not pushy, not you-are-going-to-hell-if-you-don’t-do-these-five-steps, yada yada. But instead tells people about the love, hope, and everlasting life that they can have in Jesus Christ.
And if this wasn’t enough he preaches in English and Luganda, to try and reach everyone.
He motivates me to keep going. Not necessarily to street preach but to be completely open and to just tell everyone the good things God has given me and done for me because He loves me. No matter what the circumstances are, no matter what persecution I might get back, because if no one tells them how will they ever know?- Permalink

9My Prayer for Rustin.
I woke up one morning and wrote this all down immediately.
I had a dream that I worked at CLA and we were doing some sort of conference that I was helping host.
Then I remember praying for Rustin Gresiuk.
He was lying on the ground in the alter area and I was praying for him but the entire congregation was interceding for him also.
Prayer for his family, provision and prosperity.
Then specifically praying for him as an actor. That as he goes into that environment everyday that he will be such a light to what the Lord has for those he’s working with. That he will be able to be encouraging, uplifting and honest in such a place. That he would be known for a man of integrity. That in such a industry people would be real with him, seeing something more in him. Seeing Jesus. That he will transform the industry from the inside out. That people will be amazed by how steadfast and strong Rustin is in his faith and sticking to his morals.
That the way he lives his life would confuse the world and they would be amazed by him. Not knowing, but amazed by Jesus. God opening up opportunities for Rustin to share his faith with people getting curious and in wonder. That God’s hand would so be on his life that he would know that the Lord is with him. That he wouldn’t ever doubt what the Lord has for him, but be so confident in that. That people will become curious and want to know what Rustin has that they’re missing.That yes, he will become affluent, but in doing so, he will be such a strong mighty man of God to stick it out in such an atmosphere. Giving it back to God and the church. That nothing will tear him down and that he’ll be able to stand true to the Word, to himself, and to the Father.
HE WILL BE the man of God that He has created him to be. In the industry he was created for. Serving the Lord in such a dark place being such a light. Praise the Lord.
// Once I woke up and wrote it down. I confirmed it over and over in prayer. I don’t know why the Lord has placed him on my heart lately. But I’m glad He has.
Praying for Russ, love Russ and super excited I get to see him soon.- Permalink
