"NOT EVEN IN ISRAEL HAVE I FOUND SUCH FAITH", June 9

Douglass explained yesterday that Islam had a 50 year plan for taking over Uganda, involving moving into such institutions and the schools and universtities, mass media, and political positions. His conclusion though was that "God has his own plan." I love that faith! It is so direct and powerful. Similarly, Mullah, an Egyptian man who was thrown out of Egypt for preaching to crowds in market places, was showing us a map of Sudan and telling us of his plans for preaching and planting churches there. "God will establish his church here" was his basic sentiment. As a young seminarian I am often told not to expect to change the world. I see the wisdom in that, but it's foolish to stop with only saying that much. Expect God to change the world and triumph! These men do! They have seen the power of the Spirit, that is, the Spirit of Power. Their faith has been tested and purified by fire. It is simple and strong and Christ exalting.
