How Can They Believe in the One of Whom They Have Not Heard?

Since my last post many things have happened.  Ben, whom I wrote about here, went to heaven.  His widow, Lisa, carries on his legacy and is utterly inspiring.  (Read more about them here.)  I've had some dear friends miscarry since then.  One almost identical to what happened to me.  I was praying so much for them, so much.  I ache for them and grieve with them.

And you know what all these things make me wonder?  

How do people make it through life without Christ?

Because you know what all those events I spoke of are?  Common.  They are all common.  Families grieve over loved ones who lose the battle with cancer every day.  Mamas' and daddies' hearts are broken over never getting to hold their baby every day.  Infertility sears red and  painful wounds in hearts every day.  Sometimes I don't know how people do it with the love of Christ holding them up, but the ones who don't even know it exists?  How do they do it?  It makes me sad.

Which brings me to my next point:  Cam and I are moving to Mexico.

So this was my anything.  Leaving the life I know and love, the friends I love, the family I love, to tell those who don't know Jesus about Him.  So they don't have to suffer in vain anymore.  So they don't have to live a life, that is to the best of their knowledge, cruel and meaningless.

Cam is skyping with a missionary down there right this moment.  

All the things I want to say about this....this process....this sacrifice....this privilege, I can't seem to formulate right now.  I don't know how we'll do it. I'm not sure when.  

But I do know why.  

When those people that we will encounter in Mexico hurt, I want to tell them who the true Comforter is.  When those people wander, I want to tell them who the only Compass is.  When those people struggle, and suffer, and feel pain and realize that this life in ends in Death, and I want to tell them that I have the Cure.

"How, then, can they call on the one they have not believed in? And how can they believe in the one of whom they have not heard? And how can they hear without someone preaching to them?  And how can anyone preach unless they are sent? As it is written: “How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!”

                                         --Romans 10:14-15

I want to bring the good news.  I want them to know Christ.  I want to have beautiful feet.
