"BEYOND THE MOUNTAIN"


Changing the television trying to get something interesting,
I began to watch a movie about a little town in a remote place
ln India, in which an American missioner had awaken in the
native the faith and love for Jesus Christ.
But for religious and political reasons, he had to abandon the
Country, and the people very sad, began waiting for his return.
A boy from the tribe of that place, grew up with the desire to
know more about God and give to his people that did not know
how to read, because their language had no letters or symbols.
With a lot of problems the kid went to live in a foreign country
in which he learned other languages and began to choose
the letters with he would translate God’s Bible for his people.
After school, he was working washing dishes in a restaurant
and after, he was using his free time to continue his translation.
After a few years, he finishes it, had it print, and sent the bibles
to his town when they immediately began to teach the people:
The Word of God.
Wait, wait, stop! Do not continue!
Tell me: Why are you telling us that story?
Well, it is because it made me very happy to see somebody
very interested in the spiritual health of his people, and on
the other hand, it made me feel a great sadness for all,
because in our home town, we just have to stretch our hands
a little, and we could get a Bible to read.
But unfortunately, it seems that people is not interested
anymore in knowing a little bit more our Creator!
C’mon, don’t think about it!
Just stretch your hand and grab it!
Open it…..and start reading….
In the beginning…..God created heaven and Earth…..

PRAISE HIM!
HE LOVES YOU!
