Networking and Connecting

I was sitting at my computer, sipping on a cup of coffee and working on a sermon I'll be sharing in a few weeks.  I took a short break, checked into my Facebook account and saw a note from a friend.  A friend of his, Pete, is working in Europe and had met a Muslim man who had been having dreams of Jesus.  This man was from a particular tribe in Africa and Pete was wanting help in locating a follower of Jesus who spoke this man's native language.  

In a world of nearly 8 billion people, how could I find a speaker of a tribal language who also happens to be a follower of Jesus from home in South Dakota?

It's simple really.  I shared the request with a few private networks of practitioners;  missionaries, trainers, pastors, missiologists and mission minded, great commission people.  

Two days later a connection was made.

Will this African man come to faith because of these connections? 

I pray so! 

We may not know this side of heaven but we have opportunities daily to help point people to Jesus.  It may be a simple connection that we help make.  It may be that we get to plant a gospel seed.  It could be a simple word of encouragement.

When Jairus, an official in the local synagogue, shows up a Jesus' door pleading with Jesus to come and heal his daughter who was sick, we don't often stop to think who it was that told Jairus about Jesus.  There was probably someone who said, "Have you heard about Jesus?  He can heal your daughter."

God is working.  He wants to work through all of his followers.  In his superplan, he often works in interesting and unimaginable ways.  But He is always working to bring salvation and he loves to partner with us to do it.
