Last year, I had the privilege and honor of mentoring a young man from New Zealand, Eli Savill, who was finishing up his education from Moody Bible College before returning to plant churches in his native land. Eight years ago, I was on New Zealand soil, praying with hundreds of others that God would raise up a new generation of young people to start the next great worldwide church planting movement.
Here’s a story from that time. I hope it does four things:
-
Causes your heart to sing with praise for a God who changes murders into good news prophets.
-
Stimulates you to know your God by passionately pursuing Him in the pages of His word.
-
Encourages you to live passionately for Him by being obedient to all His commands.
-
Causes you to pray for Eli and his young bride and son, all of them, answers to prayers from 8 years ago. (Link is below)
