Pastor Che’s Letter

""Travel is fatal to prejudice, bigotry, and narrow-mindedness, and many of our people need it sorely on these accounts…"

August 2010

Dear HIM Pastors and Friends,

No, that’s not me rebuking anyone. It’s Mark Twain’s observation that experiencing life in another man’s shoes indelibly changes our lives and values forever.

Our personal realities are the result of life in our corner of the world. We may think we understand it all as we sit in our comfortable chairs and hypothesize about the “bigger picture.” We may even empathize through well written stories. Yet it is all theory until we get out of our chairs!

Isn’t it interesting that Jesus’ first command to his new disciples was “Go and make disciples of all men?” The mandate contained no option NOT to go! That aspect of Christianity is something most people want someone else to do. They are usually willing to pay $50 to help! (Which, this is indeed a very good thing).

However, maybe we are missing out. Not all believers are called to be full time ministers in nations abroad- though I am so thankful for those who are. But every person, especially young Christians, can be forever changed, enlarged and tempered by short term missions or giving time to our brothers and sisters abroad.

This may seem redundant to so many of us reading this to who cross cultural ministry is a way of life. Yet we influence so many others who need to hear about it and personally respond to the call!

One of the great opportunities of HIM is to travel with our teams to other nations, or visit other HIM churches and enjo cultural and stylistic differences. God may call some to make more significant investment of time.

One young man, Christian, age 20, recently left many creature comforts to go help Claudia Wintoch of Healing 2 the Nations and her ministry in remote Mali, West Africa.
Claudia asked him to write about his first impressions of the year he’s giving:

Everything's different, the challenges are great, and God is good... So far my time here has been a rollercoaster of ups and downs emotionally…

On one hand, there's the warmth I received from the (orphanage) children as well as team members. From the first moment, I felt a part of the family which really made it easier with regards to the preceding pain of leaving Austria as well as the frightening prospect of a long year in this world that is still very foreign to me.”

My biggest battles in this time are the new hard-to-digest West African climate, the West African food that's as hard-to-digest, the adventurous car rides and the challenge of getting into the children's rhythm of life… But during this hard time of transition, I realize even more how good and helpful it is to cling to God…with the whole world around me not being the way it used to be, and finding myself a long way outside of my comfort zone "walking on water", my God is still the same! He is faithful and His help is never late. Among other things, it is exactly these kinds of deep realizations of the faithfulness of God that makes this time so precious.”

Thank you for supporting HIM as we reach the orphans, the broken hearted, the poor, the rich, and those in desperate need of salvation whom people like Christian go to help. We are not only able to change the lives of those in need, but those who help!

Consider today as you pray and send your support to HIM if you might like to go on a short term mission or to offer a long term stay to one of our associated ministries.
Or, perhaps you know someone, young or old, whose life could be changed by doing the same. Tell them!

Like Mark Twain, you’ll have lots to write about! Like Christian, you’ll enjoy a unique new intimacy with God.

In His love,

Che Ahn
