Every Nation World Conference 2010
I spent an extraordinary three days last week. July 22-24, 2010 was the Every Nation World Conference held at SMX. Every Nation is an organization of Christian churches around the world. Victory Christian Fellowship in the Philippines is part of it.
First, it was simply amazing to be in the same place with believers from around the world. It reminded me that we are one family. It doesn't matter what nationality or color we are, as long as we believe in the one true God. The parade of nations was so overwhelming. There were representatives from many countries including Afghanistan, Iran, African countries, etc.
I was touched by the testimonies from fellow believers, especially those who were shared to without prior knowledge of Jesus or the Bible. Many people from other countries literally don't know/have never heard about Jesus. And now they are believers and making disciples. Even in the face of prosecution and condemnation from family, society and the government, they are steadfast and they testified as to how God delivered them. Amazing God.
Here in the Philippines, we often take this freedom for granted. There is no prosecution here and we are free to worship as Christians. We are blessed.
The conference reminded me that Jesus needs to be shared to everyone. Matthew 28:19-20 says "Therefore go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you. And surely I am with you always, to the very end of the age."
