I have found myself in the last week or two asking myself several times, is this all worthwhile? I know the Kingdom is invisible. I know we, more often than not, don't see the fruit of our labors. But still, I wonder, is it all worthwhile? The precariousness of our life in the ME, the financial uncertainties, the apparently unstoppable progress of Islam both in the West and the ME...it's hard to see any purpose in what we are doing here. Sometimes.

11 Blessed are ye when they shall revile you, and persecute you, and speak all that is evil against you, untruly, for my sake:

He is worth it.
Well, sitting before my computer it would be easy to say : "Abu, goes on, it's the good fight".
( Whereas I of course think it is.)
What could I say? I really don't know. But I just read an article and it made me think of what you do : what happen when a part of a pagan country turn toward the Lord Jesus? Please read this : http://chiesa.espresso.repubblica.it/articolo/1340393?eng=y
I can just say anything more : thanks for what you do . I keep you and yours in my prayers.
abu,
There are many of us out here who gain insight, understanding, and encouragement from what you do. You have no idea who is working with you even though you don't know their names.
And I can truly say I know I wasn't worth it, but God saved me nonetheless.
