Reminded of John the Baptist

Tue, 11 Jan 2005  

Brother Jed, 

There are not words to begin to describe the respect I have for you and your ministry. I first noticed your preaching on the way to one of my morning classes. You reminded me of John the Baptist, who preached of repentance. Later that day I ate lunch, and the Lord placed it in my heart to go where you were to hear you preach. 

Automatically, I assumed it was that He wanted me to pray over you. What happened that next hour or so deeply impacted my life. It broke my heart to hear the students jeering and mocking your testimony, and that of your colleague. It scared me to my very bones how much mockery was in the audience. I know now that this taught me that in order to serve God it requires me to count the cost of serving Him, even if it means being in those situations. 

Praise God for your ministry! He has used you to instill questions into the minds of the student body, and although I still have deep conflicting Biblical interpretational issues with yours I will continue to pray that God will continue to support your ministry. 

In Christ, 

Joe
