“Consequently, faith comes from hearing the message, and the message is heard through the word of Christ.”
Romans 10:17
A young German man named Paul was a typical hippie in the 1970s—into drugs and not into religion. Yet one day he set out on a pilgrimage to India, hoping to find himself and discover the mysteries of faith under the tutelage of a swami. To finance his trip, Paul stopped in Afghanistan, intent on buying opium to carry home for an outrageous profit. The God he didn’t believe in had other plans.
At a guest house in Kabul, some fellow Germans urged him to join them for Easter Sunday services where the guest preacher was Californian, Ray Ortlund, a man who would later became the speaker for Haven Ministries. That night Paul heard the voice of the Lord, committed his life to the Son of God, and soon began a career working for the mission agency Youth With A Mission.
Twenty-four years ago, Paul helped launch the annual 30 Days of Prayer for the Muslim World, a resource which each year equips a multitude of praying Christians. God’s call may come to any of us when we least expect it. Let the Word of truth and salvation transform your life.
