How spoiled are we??

by Guy on Nov.18, 2009, under Uncategorized

Seriously!! So I get an email from one of my new found brothers in Africa, and he had a question. He wanted to know how to hook up a graphic equalizer. Now this guy is what I would call a genius. He taught himself how to play the keyboard because he saw the need, he then figured that they would need a bass player so he taught someone to play the keyboard and then taught himself how to play the bass. He continued to do this same pattern until they had a full band at their church. By the way he taught himself how to run sound too. Needless to say I was a little surprised when he asked me how to hook up an EQ. I poked around online for a little bit and found a .pdf with some diagrams on it a emailed it to him. The response I got from him was very humbling!! You would have thought I gave him the world!!! He was so excited to have information about his equipment. All he wants to do is further the kingdom and he was blown away when he received a mear 21MB .pdf. So how spoiled are we?? We take everything for granted!! Education, information, technology, you name it! Robert is his name and he is working hard to come to America. All he wants to do is come over here and learn how to make their services better technically so they can spread the Gospel. Sometimes I am disgusted with myself because I am so selfish. Jesus said “Give your entire attention to what God is doing right now, and don’t get worked up about what may or may not happen tomorrow. God will help you deal with whatever hard things come up when the time comes.” Matt. 6:34 msg.

So needless to say I am in the process of gathering all sorts of information that I can mail Robert.

God please forgive me for my selfishness. May I help further your Kingdom around the world.
