I recently heard a story from a close friend and evangelist who was in Colombia to speak at a pastors’ conference.

After my friend gave his message, a ministry leader named Sara told him that when she was a teenager she became deeply involved in a dangerous political movement. At that time, Sara had not heard of Jesus, and she was living a fast-paced life surrounded by violence.   Then one day Sara was with her mother and she heard something through her mother’s radio that caught her attention. And you know what? It was me! Sara told my friend, “I heard a man named Luis Palau talk about Jesus.”   Eventually, Sara began to research Jesus on her own. She became a child of God and she got out of the dangerous movement she was involved in. Then, she went on to become a minister. Today Sara works with at-risk young adults to tell them about God’s life-changing Good News.

Jesus is working in all of us to touch people, even when we don’t realize it. I did not know that the young woman was listening to me on the radio, but God used that instance to speak to her heart.   In Luke 19, the Bible says, “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.” God wants to reach the lost all around the world. Ask Him to use you to plant His life-changing seeds of Truth.           

This is Luis Palau.
