praise & pray for Manjit (PUN)

[not to be confused with the Manjit i met last week & blogged about!- Manjit sat next to me, so i just gave him the usual friendly smile, asked him where he's from & the conversation just flowed... amazing how far a little friendliness can go! he's been here 1 year but says he still has no non-Indian friends :( i was the first non-Indian to approach him during his stay in Australia . . . sadly, he's the normal case rather than the exception. :(
i see in these 'foreign strangers' such a ripe harvest field of souls, just like our Lord said in Matthew 9:37-38,"The harvest is large, but the workers are few.So ask the Lord who gives this harvest to send workers to harvest his crops."
found out he & his family are having difficulty living in Australia, [work, study etc] . . . what an opprtunity for The Body of Christ to reach out to needy lost souls!!
found out he lives only ~ 20 minutes walk from my house, pray for Divinely Appointed Opportunities to be Christ to him & his family!
:D rejoice with me! :D
:D He's bringing precious souls from the mission field here - COME ON BROTHERS & SISTERS!! OPPORTUNITIES ABOUND TO REACH THEM WITH THE NEWS OF ETERNAL LIFE -- LET'S GET ON WITH SEEKING & SAVING THE LOST WHILE THERE'S STILL TIME!!
:D anywhere we go can be used in Divine Appointments!
*PRAY*
* The Lamb of God who was slain would receive the reward for His sufferings in every precious lost soul from the mission field He's brought here caught up in deception!
"You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honor and power. for You created everything, and it is for your pleasure they exist and were created - Revelation 4:11
* give Manjit open eyes to see Jesus, The Lover of his soul & ears to hear Jesus calling him by name, drawing him to Himself & a heart to respond to His Word in faith to pass from death to life! "I can guarantee this truth: Those who listen to what I say and believe in the one who sent me will have eternal life. They won't be judged because they have already passed from death to life." - Jesus John 5:24
* God in His mercy would not let these precious Punjabis waste their lives giving glory to anyone/anything else but save them so they might bring pleasure to Him!
* have mercy on them, send them back 'home' eternally-changed souls, to join the missionary force He's raising up there!
* give us grace to embrace these 'foreign strangers' & lovingly show them the way to the Fathers' love, not wasting a moment in our selfish precoccupations & distractions but redeeming the time - Judgment Day is coming soon! (yes, i too easily give in to selfish indifference to the fate of lost souls too :-( )
