Reaching out to Borneo
I have been in Borneo for a month and a half now, and things have not gone quite like I had hoped. But I believe things are going to change soon. I know God has His way and timing and so I try to make the most of it the best I can. For the time being, I enjoy having a nice hotel to stay in and a great breakfast buffet, even when the food is not always hot. During this time I try to do something, to stay busy doing things, but under the current circumstances that gets to be more challenging. I have not felt God leading me to do anything special while I wait, so I take short walks, praying around the hallway on my 10th floor several times during the day and also at night, plus go to the restaurant on the fifth floor for breakfast,every morning and then every ten days I go to the main lobby to pay for another ten day stay. I doubt that they have ever had a tourist stay for the 90 days, I expect to stay here. I also go next door on the ground level to a small bakery often, where I can get a small loaf of wheat bread with only six 3/4" slices per bag to make my cheese or tuna sandwiches or peanut and jam, because the large supermarket next door only carries white loaves of bread, which I find hard to believe. They have white rolls and other pastries, but no wheat bread. This is the only country I have been in with that limited of a selection. Anyway, I went to get bread today at noon, but they were out of the only wheat bread I wanted. However, they said they would have more after 2pm. So then I got one at about 5pm that evening. Later, I thought I would go back down to get an ice cream cone in one of the shops in the mall that I had last week, before they closed, but their machines were not working any more when I got there. I could see that several children had one, but they were not working anymore. and other costumes were told the same thing. So while I was there I felt I should still walk through the mall and see who I could reach out to for God, even though I know His presence is alway working around me, even if I don't realize or feel it. Some of the shops were starting to close at 9pm. So I walked down to the end and turned around and walked back up the other side to go out the way I entered the mall. And that was when I saw the back of a head sitting in a wheelchair. I knew why I was here now. There was a family also standing around a small handicap boy. A father, mother, and two other older children. I smiled at them, and then placed my right hand on the young boy's shoulder and he turned around and gave me a big deformed smile with missing teeth, and eyes that sparkled. I blessed him and declared him restored and gave a smile again to the rest of the family and placed the same hand blessing the father also. There are many muslims that shop here, because I noticed all the hijabs and beautiful head scarves the women and young girls wear and fill the shops in the mall. There are over 250 million Muslims living in Indonesia, which consist of over 17,000 islands. That's more than all the other Muslim countries combined. And there are also a lot in Malaysia as well that make up the Asian South Pacific region. And here I am in the heart of it all, reaching out for Christ to touch the hearts of His children here in Borneo and set them free. While at the same time on the other side of the globe "Operation Epic Fury" is fighting to set the Iranian people free and the whole Middle East, from the tyranny of evil political/religious clerics of Iran. The underground Christian church is the fastest growing group in the world and God has often revealed Himself to many in visions and dreams and spread through the social media on the internet. Plus there are many powerful testimonies and miracles reported as well in videos seen on youtube, which I watch every day and pray for them. These videos show the awesome love and power of God that is still reaching out in the darkest places in the world where even speaking the name of Jesus, worship openly, owning a Bible or even having a portion of Christian literature can cost you your life, be torchared or imprisonment for life, for something that too many Christian take for granted. We should also be reaching out to them in prayer for protection to be set free to live and worship God as they please. .
