UCB Brazil: Writing Down The Vision
Dec 2nd, 2007 by silvia
“Write down the revelation and make it plain on tablets so that a herald may run with it” Habakkuk 2:2
It’s very nice to be able to share with you every three months about the opportunities God has been giving us to communicate the vision of the Gospel of Jesus Christ here in Brazil and in the nations through UCB International.
Right after we started to publish “The Word for Today” in our country, God gave us this Word, which is in the book of Habakkuk, pointing to us the route of UCB calling here in Brazil.
Nowadays we are daily struck with the most different types of messages. Each one of them expresses a vision regarding the world and tries, at all costs, to draw our attention. Written down not on tablets, as in the times of prophet Habakkuk, today they are in the pages of millions of books, newspapers and magazines spread through the streets and in the outdoors.
Attractive and sometimes frightening, these messages are written down in computer memories and in videos, ready to reach us at the simple pressing of one key.
It is interesting to see that the greater the information on offer, the more the search for it intensifies. As more and more words circulate through the media, greater is our hunger for them. To be an instrument in God’s hands to quench this hunger is the essence of UCB Brazil’s calling. In fact, this calling is extended to all of Jesus Christ’s disciples, to all those who one day experienced His love. He has called us to write down on people’s hearts the only message that can really satisfy their hunger. It is not a philosophic, religious or political message. It’s a Word of life. Jesus, the living Word, said: “I am the bread of life. He who comes to me will never go hungry” (John 6:35).
Just like Jesus’ disciples, we also have a multitude to feed, with the difference that it is much greater and hungrier. Therefore, it is our job to take every opportunity, using every all types of tablets that may come to our hands. Writing down clearly so that all may easily read, or see, or hear the revolutionary message of love and salvation that God offered man through His Son Jesus Christ. We want to fulfill the part of this calling that was given to us. We invite you to join us and to come write down this vision with us.
Over the next few days I will post some more stories from Brazil…… I’d love to hear from you.
