Look back, look forward, see today

Looking back. To again see the fall of the Berlin Wall is indeed touching. It speaks about a big historical happening, but also it gives us a strong challenge to pray and to work on today`s walls. Sadly we have them around us and between us. All kinds of them … built up. Some looks too high and too strong not possible to be break down. But again seeing the joy of the people of Berlin for 20 years ago, we must acknowledge that it is possible and worth laboring for.

Looking forward. The last 2 weeks we have been busy looking forward to Year 2010. What are the needs, Plan of Action and the Budget? Our dear friend and colleague Kjell, now living in Sweden, has been with us last week helping us to look forward. And, we have enjoyed having him here.
See today. If we want to be and want to do something for others, we need to see today’s present situation and to be right here ourselves. If we live in a fantasy world we will never see even a bamboo wall fall.

The need in Asia is great. We surely need God and each other to be able to help and bless the huge multitude of people of Asia. Ingvar
