New Tribes Mission: GILI SHARES

March 24, 2011

by David Bell

Gili, an Akolet man who became a believer last October, is growing in his walk with the Lord.

The timber company that keeps edging closer to the people's garden areas recently damaged several of Gili's trees. He asked them for compensation for the damages, and they gave him 600 kina (about $200).

Gili decided to give some of it to other people. He chose people who have been coming to the teaching and seem to be understanding and eagerly waiting for the rest of the truth.

"Why did you do that?" Adam asked him.

"I've been hearing what you guys have been working on in the first chapters of Acts, where the believers shared stuff with each other and looked out for each others' needs." Gili said. "So I figured, I will keep some of this money and I will give some to people who seem to be waiting for Jesus to deliver them."

"What a joy to watch him … growing in [his] newfound faith," Julie wrote. "This is such exciting stuff. Thanks for praying."

I love to hike (up to 12,000 ft peaks), bike, and raft in the mountains, so it is like heaven to me there. Biggest Challenge? My biggest challenge is being patient. I am very efficient and quite a perfectionist, so waiting does not come easily to me. Best Advice? Treat others as you would want to be treated, and never compromise what you know is right. Goals?To be a successful performer who is able to influence people for good.

Opinion
Recognising Reality - Grieve that God is cursed for every catastrophe, but seldom praised for His wonderful Creation. Lament that God makes the news headlines only when man mocks His power or questions His goodness, but tens-of-thousands of God’s acts of mercy, grace, protection, provision and patience receive no headlines. Grieve that the Name of the only righteous Man who ever walked the earth is used as a swear word on T.V. screens and in cinemas across the world. Grieve that God is blasphemed by the very same people who question why God does not restrain the consequences of their own rebellious actions
