Made for another world

"If I discover within myself a desire which no experience in the world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world." C. S. Lewis

Max the evangelist

This is Max telling Danae (our youth pastor's 2 year old daughter) about God. Last Sunday a missionary from Africa, complete with all the wonderful African artifacts, spoke at our church. Max was enthralled and had lots of questions. In Sunday School he was given a box to collect money in for the great commission fund. He wanted to know why the missionaries need money and I explained they needed money to live in another country to tell people about Jesus. He thought about that for a while. Later he came back and told me he wanted to give the ice cream man money to tell people about Jesus! He wanted to know if he could tell people about Jesus too and of course I told him he could. He knew Danae was coming over later and asked if he could tell her about God and I said he could. So that night while Danae was here, she was banging on the piano, Max walked over and asked Danae if he could tell her about God, she said yes. After he was finished telling her about God he moved on to something else. She got down from the piano and walked over to him and said, "Max tell me more about Jesus." So he told her Genesis 1:1, the Bible verse we've been working on. It touched my heart to watch that exchange take place and I pray he will always want to tell others about Jesus.
