On Wednesdays, here in Manokwari, Edy’s church takes to the streets to share the gospel. It is illegal here, and you can be put in jail for doing so, but they go anyway. They tell me that the people are open to hearing the gospel, and so they go.

I have been reading about the church in Sardis (Rev. 3:1-6). God told them “You have a name that you are alive, but you are dead. WAKE UP…” The church was strong in reputation but not in reality. I have been very convicted on this issue since arriving in Papua. I have seen ways in my own walk with the Lord that people would outwardly see as good, but inwardly I know my character doesn’t match. I don’t want to be about reputation only, but about real Christian character. I don’t know who all is reading this blog, maybe no one, but if you stumbled on this posting today, take a moment and decide if your spirit is alive in reality or in reputation only. If your spirit is dead or sleepy, here’s your wake-up call. WAKE UP and fix it. It’s easy to keep up appearances, but God USES people who are really alive.
There little mosques like this all over, and I wake up every morning at 4am to their call to prayer. Please for the people of Papua, and for the hearts of the people ministering to them.
