    Aw man another life wasted. Disappointed,

    briel and Michael shake their heads.

    wonder, do angels cringe as they watch Christian after

    ristian squander time, money life on trivial,

    important, and temporal things? Americans, more than

    y other nationality on the planet, waste resources, study

    w to get the best, the biggest, the greatest and newest

    ing, and invest in meaningless hobbies and time-wasters.

    r instance, our nation, having only 50 States, contains

    ound 1000 water parks, and anywhere between 90 and

    0 amusement or theme parks, depending on the defining

    iteria.Studieshave demonstrated that this is a multi-billion

    llar industry. We live in a fun-loving nation. And the church

    ten finds herself looking over the fence, coveting the

    merican Dream yes even building after its blueprint of

    ide, selfishness, and stinginess.

    liable sources indicate that most of the world lives on less

    an we spend on our pets and/or entertainment. And while

    ousands walk a mile to the nearest river for filthy drinking

    ater each day, we water our grass and flush our toilets with

    eaner water than they ever imagine drinking. Our kitchens

    d bathrooms alone have more light bulbs than can be

    und in entire homes throughout most of the world.

    ome on! Now thats just an exaggeration!

    it? Look at how small America is on the globe. Our

    pulation pales in comparison with Asia alone, not to

    ention Africa, South America and the Middle East! No,

    eres no exaggeration here.

    hile not all pleasure is a waste of time, energy and money,

    t us take time to consider the rest of the world billions

    ho have never heard the good news of Jesus Christ and use

    s good gifts to further the proclamation of the Gospel!

    avid Platt andJohn Piper, both well respected biblical

    nisters of the gospel, can be viewedhere, addressing theirncern over the wasteful materialism of the average

    merican Christian, and how we can better invest time,

    ergy, and resources for the glory of God among all peoples

    the earth.

    Well, its MY life, and Its all about ME!

    o it isnt. Wake up toreality.

    Just a minuet! Page 1

    What does that minute mean to 96 people?

    Its only 60 short seconds. Not thatmuch time. It takes longer than that for

    traffic light to change, a plate to warm in the microwave, or that annoying

    commercial to finish. In that same 60 seconds, according to the wo

    population clock, approximately 96 people pass into eternity. 96 souls gon

    So next time you say, Just a minute. Remember the 96 people that slipp

    into eternity within that minute, 40 of them were little people killed

    doctors before they could even take their first breath. These 40 wee on

    though not considered human by many, are

    indeed a tremendously large percentage of the

    total number of deaths worldwide per minute.

    Adding both born and unborn deaths, our sum

    becomes 56 born people and 40 unborn on

    average who die within a minutes time.

    Ninety six souls within 60 seconds!!! If we had

    the heart of God, how would we respond to

    such staggering knowledge?

    Go and teach all nations (Mat. 28:19) is a command given to people w

    DOhave Gods heart, in fact, His Spirit!!This is not a mystic kind of presenin us. This is the heart of God Himself; His passions, His desires, His joys a

    griefs, His very presence. Unfortunately, we more often than not choose

    silence His voice and relish our own joys and passions instead. Keith Dan

    (listen here)says that the more a believer loves God, the more they will ha

    the whole world on their heart, not just bits and pieces of the world.

    Do you have a favor

    country favorite peop

    Well what about the peop

    who didnt happen to be bo

    in your favorite countrHow much do you care about the people in Guinea-Bissau, what about t

    folks in Angola or Sierra-Leone (pictured above)? Do you love the people

    Uruguay? What about Bhutan or Indonesia, and the islanders of Tonga? D

    you even care that these people exist? Does it bother you at all if they e

    their lives today without ever hearing the Gospel?How much of the hear

    the passion - of God do you really have? Or is His heart (His Spirit) quench

    and grieved? ~*~ Continue on page 2 for Arnahs general news.

    I cannot watch the

    Death clockon

    Joshua Projects website

    without a feeling of urgenc

    Even so, come Lord Jesus

    Dr. & Mrs. Eugene Crou

    2nd

    grade Sunday School Bible memory game!

    There is something that I have been pondering a lot recently. If God so loved the world, then it just makes sense that I should lothe world too. So about six weeks ago I started a personal project. I began memorizing the countries of the world, region b

    region, and asking God for His passion for these 7 billion people in each of their unique cultures and religions, particularly f

    those who know nothing or little about Him and for those who hate God and His people.

    Whats Keeping Arnah Busy? I have been very busy working to earn thefunds needed for my fast-approaching year-and-a-half atNew Tribes MTC. A few weeks

    ago I started handcrafting womans hair accessories to sell to neighbors and friends both

    in town and by post. As a fundraiser for my MTC tuition, every purchase goes 100%

    toward the cost of my missionary training with New Tribes, which begins on August

    19th. Click here to view my handcrafted products. The total tuition for all three

    semesters is $7,287. At the present time, I am about $1,600 short of that goal andrejoicing as I witness Gods amazing provision through my nanny job, craft sales and kind donations.

    Ive really enjoyed singing in the choir and teaching 2nd grade Sunday school th

    summer. Ive also enjoyed volunteering with my sisters assidewalk counselo

    at a local abortion clinic. We speak with the women and offer aborti

    alternatives. A highlight of my summer has been weekly times of fellowship a

    prayer with my spiritual mentors, Dr. and Mrs. Crouch,

    who share a common passion for the glory of God among

    all people. I own much of who I am to their example and influence over the past 13 years of my life.

    What about Romania?Yes, Im still in contact with the people in Romania. And by Gods grace,

    I still know and use the Romanian language. I talk with the Christians there as well as those who still

    need the Lord. As I pray for the world, I pray for Romania with all my heart. I desire to make brief return

    trip to Romania for the summer of 2013 (between New Tribes semesters) to assist with various camps

    and to visit ones who are dear to me. I speak with Cici frequently online. She is serving faithfully with her

    team in India, and seeing the Lord at work in the lives of her Indian students.

    I am in contact with a couple here in Indianapolis who need the Lord. They have heard a thorough presentation of the gospel

    least twice, and I am trusting that the Spirit will regenerate their hearts in His time. I will continue to contact them/visit as I ha

    opportunity.

    With the heart of God which grieves for the 76,514 who have already died today (its only 1:23pm, and counting),

    Arnah Williams Intercede for theunreached, for families ofChristian martyrsaround the world and the salvation of their murderers. Pray for those who need Jesus (specifically the couple here in Indianapolis and a lady overseas and her boyfriend) Pray that the glory of God among all peoples would be my driving motivation for how I spend time and money. For daily submission to Gods Spirit. For humility, joy, and genuine love. / For my parents and siblings Pray for Cici and the staff in India, specifically for Cici as she prepares and teaches the discipleship students this week!
