First Day


Dear you:

At the moment you got this mail, I’ve been 28 already.
I’ve been to more than 18 countries with the DOULOS in the year of my 27th.
Romania, Ukraine, Turkey, Cyprus, Greece, Albania,
Montenegro, Croatia, England, Holland, Ireland, Northern Oreland, Scotland, France, Germany…

Then I learned something irony but true;
The Philosophers didn’t change the world, they talked too much
The Politicians can’t make a difference, they promised too much
The travelers they don’t really care that much…

But those quiet seeds in the soil,
Bring the vivid life of the coming spring

That afternoon, somewhere Constanza, Romania, she took me to a dying lady who had lost her sight and both feet.
“Pray for her, please. She wants nothing but death. You are the only one who can comfort her at this moment.” she said.

Who am I? Can I bring hope to desperate people?
I hold her hands and spoke in mandarin,” Lord, relieve her pain and be with her family.”
She brought tears to her eyes. That was the first time she heard a foreign language.
And that was a prayer. She was overjoyed with tears. However, she knew I would leave her in few minutes…

That is my challenge for this coming year.
I am willing to dedicate myself as an offering for God
However, where will that be?
Who will be my company?
And who have the vision to support His ministry?

Someone just told me:
Today is the best day. You got to love it! For this is the very first day of the rest of your life.

I am Ray, turning 28 today.
