Some months ago I had the idea to post a short note here about some people who have greatly impressed me. These are individuals that aren’t (and will never be) in the news, but are the types of people that I want my kids to grow up to be.<\/p>\n
Josh Watson has been teaching the Bible to children and adults in India for more than six years now. This he does in the most humble of circumstances. And in the humblest of ways. The sacrifices that Josh has made to teach those who otherwise would not hear are too many to mention. And Josh would prefer that they not be reported. He teaches a variety of Bible classes to children of all ages, and he also teaches adults in various Bible studies and church settings. He does this daily, faithfully, without earthly praise, and at great cost.<\/p>\n
The last five or six months though have been very difficult for Josh. Some external situations have mingled with internal realities to create a time harder than he has known before. God can change this, but so far he hasn’t. I want to ask you to pray that God would change this. That Josh would feel God’s hand upon him. That he would trust Him when he doesn’t. I have asked Josh if I could seek prayer on his behalf, and so I ask you to pray. Or, if you’d like to offer encouragement, do so here and I’ll make sure he gets it. Thank you.<\/p>\n
2 Cor 1:10-11 “He has delivered us from such a deadly peril, and he will deliver us. On him we have set our hope that he will continue to deliver us, as you help us by your prayers. Then many will give thanks on our behalf for the gracious favor granted us in answer to the prayers of many.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
