Acts 18:10 For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.
In the late 1980’s the Lord called me to work with the street kids in the city of Bombay now called Mumbai in India. Our daily schedule was to gather the street kids and start school.
We sat in an open air class on mats and along with reading writing and arithmetic we brought the love of God to their lives.
One day a man accosted me and asked me to leave the railway premises immediately or else I would have to face dire consequences.
I was summoned to the railway police but after a 20 minutes interrogation they let me continue with the classes and I learnt that the man had no official authority in that place.
Fear gripped me for a moment but God’s Word was final. He had said, “I am with you, and no man shall set on you to hurt you, for I have many people in this city”.
True…every child that I was teaching and all their family members were gathered around me to protect me…I smile as I think on that day.
He who has called will always be faithful.
Wherever you are at this moment and thinking about your difficult day on the mission field know that He has His people in the city for you
Thank you Jewels,
