We were riding a bus to Mexico to help at an orphanage outside of Ensenada so we kind of felt like missionaries. I shared about my love for missionary books and missionaries in general. My new friend Diana (whom two years later would agree to marry me) commented that she knew some missionaries. She then told me that she had cared for their mother who was then in a wheel chair. One of her best friends was a niece of a missionary who had given their life for the Lord in South America. I started to put two and two together and reliazed she was talking abou the family of Jim Elliot. I said to her, “don’t you know they are famous!?” She said, “no we never thought of them that way, they were just missionaries who loved the Lord and were regular people as far as we knew.” She was right of course. I was overwhelmed at the humility and godliness of this first hand account of the Elliot family and my respect of them was even more increased. I had been deeply affected by the book “Shadow of the Almghty” when I was about thirteen years old and this conversation I had on that bus has always stuck with me. Regular people in God’s hands can do great things for the Lord. With the Lord, “little is much!” <br /><br />Thank you dear Klein family for being such wonderful tools in the Master’s wise hands! The Lord be magnified!<br />Rod Pagebro Rodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04604411397955553172noreply@blogger.com
