One of our native missionaries asked, “Pastor, this might sound stupid, but I always wondered what if Jesus had a means of transportation such as a cycle in His times?”
Ps. R replied, “That’s not stupid but logical. He could surely double His ministry.”
Ps. C added, “Yes! Any means of transportation can ease the stress of walking and increase our missionary outreach. That is the purpose of a cycle. Means of transportation such as the cycle is not for the desire for comfort and ease but the basic need for missionaries like us to reach our destination on time. We become exhausted as we get to the fellowships by walking; our physical energy almost gets drained, and we cannot give our best in sharing powerful scriptures. We require some break, and most of all, we must return home late.”
Ps. R said, “True, Pastor. Last time, I was very far away evangelizing and sharing the Gospel. It was 4 hours away by walk from here. But then, my wife suddenly called me and said my younger son had swallowed a coin and was choking. So then, I faced a quandary: what should I do? I paused for a while and asked God to lead my situation. I prayed, “God, I am working here for you. Would you please take care of my son at my home?” Then, I called my relative and asked him to help my family with the situation. And I continued evangelizing. Thanks to the Lord, my son was okay after taking him to the hospital. Thanks to the Lord, I found him just as I had left him when I returned home.”
Dear partners, your generosity in helping them with the cycle is not just a means of comforting them during their travel but fulfilling their basic needs and securing their personal life. Your kindness means a lot to their problems. In addition, it has aided in reducing their family burdens and fulfilling their desires to minister for God simultaneously. May God bless you abundantly forever.
