Hey gang. Here's a note from my friends on Gilligan's Island. Please lift them up!
Hello dear friends!!
I’d like to take a minute to share with you a need for pleading. As you are aware, this island is not open to the “Good News.” The few local “followers” of our Captain have been the target of some persecution recently. A group of them have been meeting in a home once a week, and this past Saturday, the meeting was met by police. The leader who does much of the teaching and a young man were taken in for questioning and have been held there since Saturday. The police seem to have a problem with the young man associating with this group. The amazing thing is, this bold 15 year old has professed the Son of our Captain without shame! He repeatedly has told them “I believe in J!” Praise to the Captain!!
I ask that you plead for growth and strength during this time. Persecution is not a bad thing and was often used in the NT to grow the “body” and spread the “Good News.” Lift up the leader of the “followers” as well as his wife and children. Thank the Captain for this young “follower” and his courage! Plead also that this issue will be settled quickly, preferably before the new government takes power Friday. Plead for all the “followers” on this island, as the police apparently have a list of all their names. Plead they will be strengthened by the power of the “H.S.” and know true peace. Some of them have been visited and also taken in by the police.
Our Captain is great and worthy of praise! Nothing is beyond His grasp or control! He already has a plan for this situation and this island! Continue to plead for His will to be done! Thank you and may you be blessed this week!
