So stop me if you've heard this one before ... pastor of a church is praying for his upcoming mission conference, asking God to bring forth more laborers for the harvest. Yeah - you got it!
Phil Lien was the pastor in question when God laid upon his heart to leave the pulpit, pack up his family and travel to Indonesia where they will preach the Gospel to the largest Muslim population in the world.
After about a year on deputation, Bro. Lien, his wife Kristine and their three children are seeing the reality of their dream coming true, as they look forward to heading to the field later this year.
The Liens blog from their own website - http://lienmissions.com.
The blog is interspersed with their monthly ministry update letters, so you can follow just about everything they have been doing while on the deputation trail. Throughout the rest of the website are other tidbits of information about this family and their vision.
I encourage you to stop by and visit the Lien family, read their blog and check out the rest of the website, then keep them in your prayers as they finish deputation. Like so many others, the Liens are leaving their old lives behind to follow God's leading - in my book, that makes them heroes.
Please keep all of our missionary heroes in your prayers; my hope is that we will all pray more, give more and if God calls, go farther than ever before for the cause of world missions.
In Christ,
Bro. Garry
