These four guys are awesome examples because of their faith, their fearless courage and their determination to help others meet Christ.  Who does God want you to pursue for Him?  Who has God put on your heart for you to move at His impulse to carry His grace into their life no matter what the challenges in front of you?

End today by rewriting Mark 5 with your story.  Maybe even dream about the ending you believe would honor God and then pray and ask God to help you fearlessly face the challenges ahead.  My story would look like this:

Mary [true story but not her real name] sent Joseph a f/b asking some deep questions about God.  A few days later, Jesus put on Joe’s heart to carry the Gospel to Mary, a long time friend from his youth.  But Mary was so busy and she never returned e-mails or phone calls so Joe had to amp it up.  He spent a lot of time praying and then faithfully delivered God’s message of salvation in as many forms as he could.  He mailed her a couple of books, he continued to send e-mails and f/b posts and he wouldn’t let silence be a deterrent.  After some time, Mary responded with more questions that seemed bigger and more daunting than before but Joe stayed close to God and answered them the best he could.  After many days, God saw Joe’s faith and reached out and opened Mary’s eyes so she could receive the Good News of Jesus. [so far, everything up until the last sentence is true.  Pray for Mary’s salvation!]

What’s your story going to look like?
