A Pastor Cried On International Stage
He was called to preach at a christian crusade
in a foreign country. On his last day, he thought to share with thousands of people few things about struggles.
he opened another topic about his country,
he said loudly ,
" My friends hear me well.
Hear this truth from my mouth.
Technology of today lies on the mineral resources
of DRCongo but some parts of my country people struggling
due to rebellions and wars."
Then he started to cry on that international stage.
thousands of folks were so bamboozled
while continued hearing his story.
Sadly to see a well - known pastor crying
due to what he bottled for decades.
total silence reigned in that place
as he was not speaking for some minutes.
Then he said loudly,
" millions of congolese died cruelty
and some western influential leaders are parts
of massacres and genocides in my country
reason why they don't concern to these issues.
I mean even the international community
is involving in the problems of Drcongo."
some people felt pains.
sad message. so sadly in their ears.
he called people with different problems to pray
with him before he could leave the podium.
They went to him
and he prayed for them.
When he finished his sermon , the organisers called
people for contributions.
They collected much money to give to their visitor
minister after the crusade.
When they presented him a brown envelope filling money.
He told his friend pastors to give him the list of trusted local charities
so he could distribute that money
to help the needy.
His friends were confused as they thought he could go
with that money. so they did what he told them to do.
When he was about to leave , he told them,"
my friends , I am so happy for your care , may God bless you abundantly.
don't get me wrong.
I did what God told me to do in your country.
your people need that money more.
Congolese need peace in the entire country more....
so that they can enjoy
their natural resources.
Help us to tell the world about the struggles
of our people in East of Drcongo."
His friends thanked him for his kindness
and he went back home.
