The Blessing of Faith to the Nations – Mark 7:24-30

Take your copy of God’s Word and meet me in Mark 7:24…

I heard a story from a pastor friend of mine regarding one of the pastors’ of his church who spent quite a bit of time in China sharing the gospel. In one particular encounter, this brother began sharing the gospel with a Chinese college student. In one of the initial conversations, as he started talking to him about Jesus, the student responded with, “Who?” This young man had never heard the name Jesus.  So, he spent the summer reading the Bible and explaining the good news to him, and by the end of the summer, the college student placed faith in Jesus. As the missionary shared this story, he said the young man told me, “I always knew there was a God; I just never knew his name.” By God’s grace, he came to not only learn the name of God but to turn to serve the living God.
