FROM A to Z


A woman was sitting on her house bench. She was looking at people who were wandering in front of her house. She wondered, were these people ever heard about Christ.

She knew that she's just ordinary woman. She's not a preacher or a pastor. She's not a church activist, but she did love God. Realizing that she's getting older everyday, she decided to do something in order to make other people knew about God. She knew that she has a phone book and a telephone, and she realized that she could tell about God through those objects.

She started to call name by name according to the alphabet order in the phone book. She called about twenty people everyday, introducing her name to them, and ask them whether they had ever heard about Jesus or not. Through the telephone, she testified what God had done in her life, His love, His kindness, and she prayed for those who faced problems. She did get refusal from some people, but it didn't stop her to call everyday. From A to Z, she diligently called people and told them about Christ.

Even though she's not a preacher, but her diligence bore fruit. Hundreds of people knew Jesus and finally accepted Him as God and Savior. It only happened through a telephone and a book phone, and a faithful woman.

It's truly exciting when we tell people about God. We declare His kindness, we declare His greatness, and they response us by accepting Him, is truly a wonderful life. We don't have to be a preacher to do it, we can be whatever we are. Just like the anonymous woman above, we can speak about Christ through telephone, through letters, words, even life. As long as we do it for God's sake, I believe that God has His favor over us. And never be disappointed when people reject us, for only God who can draw someone's heart to Him and only Him who knows those who will accept and believe Him. Just be God's hands in reaching for souls.
