* IllUSTRATION ..

"I now realize how true it is that God does not show favoritism, but accepts men from every nation" (ACTS 10: 34-35).

"We had been asked to leave our mission field and serve on our board's administrative team in the States.

FOR a year, Ev served as a guest professor at Asbury College in Wilmore, Kentucky. When his teaching assignment ended, he was asked to become vice-president of field ministries. As I suddenly realized that I would not be going back to Korea, I prayed, "Lord, don't take Korea out of my heart, but stretch me to love other countries just as much." God did exactly that. An encounter on a flight from Singapore to Manila serves as an illustration.

A young family sat near me on the crowded plane. The beautiful mother had two small boys. NEXT to me sat the father, and before we were off the ground, he asked who I was and where I was going. He then told me that he worked for Gillette in the Philippines.

He began to ask questions about Christianity - not just, "Who is Jesus Christ?" but rather, "If God created us, who created God?" We talked at length about cults and Christianity. Before we parted, they invited us to their home.

At dinner around their lovely table, they accepted Christ. Two big tears trickled down the mother's lovely face - a sight I shall never forget. The following day, they met our missionaries, and later they were baptised.

My stretched heart included him, not a Korean but a Chinese from Malaysia who spoke impeccable English, lived in Manila and later emigrated to Australia.

THIS couple represents our world. Affluent? Yes.
But they had the same need to know Jesus.
(Jesus needs our love to reach others like them.)"
