Okay, so that's never going to be a very popular cheer at sporting events. Still, I think being in fourth place is a great cause for celebration in this instance. During the seminar presented by Jason Mandryk, author of Operation World, at the Desiring God national conference this past weekend he listed some rankings on the rate of growth of Evangelical Christianity in different countries around the world and Cambodia was in fourth place! Here and in many other parts of the world the rate of increase in the numbers of Evangelical Christians is higher than the rate of growth of the population as a whole. And who do you think came in 1st & 2nd place? Iran and Afghanistan! What an amazing God we serve! What an exciting time to be partnering with God in building His kingdom!
"Do you not say, ‘Four months more and then the harvest’? I tell you, open your eyes and look at the fields! They are ripe for harvest. Even now the reaper draws his wages, even now he harvests the crop for eternal life, so that the sower and the reaper may be glad together. Thus the saying ‘One sows and another reaps’ is true. I sent you to reap what you have not worked for. Others have done the hard work, and you have reaped the benefits of their labor.” John 4:35-38
