One of the most frustrating events that has transpired since arriving here In Peru has not been the language (obviously) or the culture (even though I have had my bit of culture shock) or even the massive groups that come down to Peru with every question under the sun concerning Peru. Where are we going next? As if they would have an idea when I tell them Paucarpata or something. Don’t get me wrong, I love having groups, but it is frustrating to hear those questions 24/7.
The most frustrating time for me has been caused by one person alone. I have stayed awake at night asking myself what I am doing wrong. I find myself constantly praying for this person, asking God to do a work In his life.
If you have seen my Twitter or Facebook status you have seen updates about a young man that accepted Christ a few weeks ago. Sadly, things have taken a turn for the worse with him. He started out very well, reading his Bible, growing, attending church, asking tons of questions and showing fruit of his salvation. But now, things are different. Things started getting busy at work and soccer tournaments started taking up his weekends and he has no time for church, his Bible or most importantly God.
I’ll try to explain what I see in his life in the next few posts, and it might help you see the same happening in someone you know or even yourself. I don’t know what I am doing, but I am asking the Lord for wisdom concerning this situation.
Thanks for reading.
