Heart for Asia

Today my wife and I travelled to Cambridge, Ontario for the Heart for Asia conference. The morning focused on the Philippines which is very dear to our hearts and in the afternoon the focus was on Thailand, China and Indonsia. It was good to hear what God is doing in those countries and how peoples lives have been changed when they have been confronted with the crucified and risen Lord. Just as Asia needs to be confronted with the cross so do the people of North America and Europe need to come to the cross. Our prayer should be what would happen in the lives of people if they would allow the cross to break into their lives.
It was also great to see friends again from the Philippines and from Canada. The one thing we noticed was that it is mainly older people who attend those conferences but there are many younger people who are involved in the work of OMF.
