Owen's thoughts
I saw Jesus in my brother Thong. He is a man of God! God has blessed him with testimonies after testimonies to share with others and to bless others with them! I believe it's Thong's faith that makes others see Jesus in him. I can say that I was truly blessed by my brother! I 'll share how I saw Jesus in him @ report night and I want to share this with you before I sign off. He traveled 40+ hours by bus to come to see us from Hanoi and he'll make the same trip back after we leave! It touched me so much and I wondered when was the last time that I did that for a friend that I only met twice before? I don't think he makes $100 US a month and he wanted to pay $30 US for our taxi ride from airport to show appreciation for us to come to see him and the brothers and sisters in Saigon! He doesn't have much and he is giving all he has! Can't wait to spend more time with him today and get to know him even more!

Wow..... Thanks for sharing this Owen. This completely challenges my perspective on friendship and money. God asks so little of us but yet I make such a big fuss about nothing because my perspective is so self serving.......
ReplyDeleteWow. I was going to say pretty much everything Dan said. So, just thank you for sharing, and Wow.
ReplyDelete40+hours!!! That's like over two trips from U.S. to Asia. That's love and sacrifice. What a friend indeed!
