"I love You Jesus. I am yours! I will risk it all to follow You." - Page 51

Facing a possible death sentence and rejection from loved ones, Mansour cries out "I love you Jesus. I am yours!" My prayer last week for Jim Elliot and my own heart is that God would fill the emptiness in our hearts with His life and love. Mansour's spontaneous outburst of ecstatic praise in the face of suffering reminds of both the joy and pain that comes with authentic Christ-like discipleship. I hope that the testimonies being written right now in the students and staff at Jim Elliott resound with the same passion and sacrifice that we read in Mansour's story. Dear God, please create new, joy-filled, and passionate hearts by your faithful word of power at Jim Elliott this week.
