Seize the moment daily

Seize the Moment daily

 War zones are tough places. In 2006 Hizbollah and Israel were locked in battle, but the MECO team remained in Lebanon, sharing the hardships to show the love of Jesus. Caught between being his hands and feet and the pressure of bombings and gunfire, they proved that "those who wait on the Lord find strength renewed." 

 During an uneasy peace, a MECO worker visited her local pharmacy. “Oh to find peace with our neighbours, ” said the chemist. Seizing the moment, the worker replied, “I have a book in the car about Jesus, the Prince of Peace. Would you like to read it?” “Yes!” As she returned with the booklet, a crowd of people stood at the pharmacist's counter. He had shouted across his shop, asking if anyone would like to read about Isa (Jesus), Prince of Peace. The Christian worker had only one booklet in her car, but the people announced they would wait while she went to fetch more. On returning she discovered everyone had waited and each took home the story of Jesus. 

 Only eternity will reveal the result of an offer made through a purpose renewed daily: we are called to advance the gospel wherever we are.
