Yesterday I was able to meet in person with a friend I've only known online for the past three years.
This friend lives in a dangerous place for Christians in the Middle East, so I won't mention his name.
But I will share one of the things he told me about what God is doing on the other side of the world.
You may have heard how in just a little over a year nearly 1.5 million Muslims have flooded into Germany.
But what you probably haven't heard is how many of these Muslims are turning to Christ... and the church in Germany is now growing thanks to Muslim coverts.
To give you a better idea what this looks like...
One Lutheran church -- tracing all the way back to Martin Luther -- had dwindled down to 70 people and was thinking of closing its doors.
But today this church is home to over 900 new believers.
I pass this on to urge you to remember:
You never know what God is up to...
You may look at headlines, trends, circumstances and count it all lost...
But God is always at work behind the scenes, confounding our expectations and resurrecting what appears to be dead.
So don't despair.
Stay faithful.
Keep following Jesus.
“Behold, I am going to do something new, Now it will spring up; Will you not be aware of it? I will even make a roadway in the wilderness, Rivers in the desert" (Is.43:19)
