Power of the gospel

One of the nomads who has been led to Kautokeino in Easter is a Native Americn evengelist called Sam. We first met this man in the World Christian Gathering on Indigenous People last August in Sweden. He is one of those rare people who seem to speak only about Jesus, and consentrate on Him in everything. One night we gather as an international company and he shares about his walk with God and the godness of Jesus till one a.m. Immense joy to be around such people! Sam used to be a drug dealer and  an  alcoholic  who was  detoxed  on the  spot when  he  met  Jesus.  Now he's  been  called  to  travel around and witness of His power to set free and restore. We talk and share something about the lonelyness of such nomadic lifestyle, and it's challenges. Sam reminds me that we are called to be Jesus to people we meet, nothing more nothing less. And I feel freshly that it is the power of the gospel that changes peoples lives, power that is radical, that comes outside of us, yet is to be recieved by faith.
