Open doors into Arab world I
Some time ago I talked about Israel with my friends who have studied international politics. They told me it was quite absurd to notice how one sided the attitudes in Israeli-Palestinian crises were; believeres were partial in their support to Israelis, and the people at the university as narrowly for Palestinians. My friend Laura has confronted the same many times as she feels called to work among Arabs, which makes many Christians raise their eye brows.
Especially in a present situation in the region it would be priceless to gain a perspective on what God is doing among Arabs all over Middle East, and bless that while we pray for the fullfillment of God's plans for Israel. My view changed on my last journey when I met and learned of people discipling house churches in Iraq, Jordan and Druze and Shiia in Lebanon. Many people told me that now is a new season for that ministry, season when committed long-term workers can see the fruits of their labor, and it is not rare that people find Jesus through miracleous healings. Hard to disagree when God opens doors. Makes me think how limited my view, compared to God's, is.
