The Action Report THE LORD OF THE HARVEST CALLED....WE MOVED Dear Friend, Summer 2012 the Lord had me and a Shalom Team member in Argentina-one of the ripest fields in the free world. Many of you prayed for us during time as we shared the love of Christ in Patagonia and later with the youth of Buenos Aires. I have preached, taught and witnessed in Argentina and Chile more times than I have remembered to count. Many hundreds-perhaps thousands-have accepted Jesus and His plan for their lives. Youth from broken homes. People with sins that had exploded their marriages. Miners whose buddies had been killed in mine cave-ins.
I shall never forget my journey into one mine. Would I have entered the darkness if I had known there would be an explosion a few months later that would claim many lives? Probably not. But as we walked deep into the mine, I gained great respect for miners and a terrible lesson that never leaves me. Once deep inside, my guide said, "Turn off the light" (on my helmet). There we sat-in a darkness so total that I felt I could run my fingers through it. When we came out, Christ's call to "turn them from darkness to light and from the power of Satan unto God" gripped me like a heavenly vise. God gave the open door to later minister to some of the widows and co-workers of those dead miners. I love the Argentine and Chilean people. They are a proud people who respond to love that is real. And when challenged to follow Jesus-as we always emphasize the "Go Ye"-some have left their country to take the gospel across the world. They also have a great love for Israel. We choose not to seek the funds from those who have little. Instead, they give it to the poor in their midst. And we take extra funds to bless pastors and workers who live on little. Thanks for caring and sharing in this ministry. Taking His light to the bottom of the world, Frank Eiklor Related Articles · More Articles Jesus said many would come in His name and deceive the hearts of the simple, sinful and proud. Eastern mysticism and meditation is a big thing in the gullible West. And one day a “world leader” will appear on the scene with the persuasion of a god and the heart of a devil. Jesus warns His children to know the Scriptures, live in obedience to the Father’s will, and stay alert to the signs of the times. They laugh no more. Now God’s description of how He will destroy the old earth and create a
new one makes perfect sense. The splitting of the atom turned many skeptics into believers.
After all, look what man himself is capable of doing with the atom and hydrogen bombs. Now
the fear is that nuclear weapons are being placed in the hands of madmen who wish to annihilate
their enemies. God has blessed man with incredible genius. We stand in awe as we watch men and women in a room full of computers and high-tech instruments guiding and landing spacecraft on distant planets. At that moment, we appear invincible. But then a mammoth tornado comes—or a terrifying hurricane—or rains that flood whole regions and never listen to our shouts to “Stop!”—or the shake that removes from under our feet any confidence or pride we carry, and leaves us numb with hardly enough breath to even utter the paralyzing word “EARTHQUAKE!”. And man is helpless in the face of it all! |
