Powerful Picture

This picture below has really touched my heart. It was sent to me by one of our missionaries, and with his permission and the promise of anonymity - I'm sharing it with you. One reason I love this picture because it provides something that we in America often lack - perspective.

Here's why: The people pictured below are Christian's who are risking their lives. They are doing so because those pack horses that they are leading are carrying boxes filled with study Bibles into a country where Bible's are illegal. This precious cargo is being sneaked across the border and will be given away to believers in underground churches who desperately need them.

Kind of makes the typical church problems we deal with seem rather petty and unimportant, doesn't it?
