Fire!

This tree is a common sight to see in Delhi this time of year. It is the Gulmohar tree but here it is usually referred to as the "Fire of the Forest". Every time I see this tree I think of the story of Moses and the burning bush. You can read the entire story here. God spoke to Moses through a burning bush that didn't burn up! God told Moses of a very important job that he had for him. Even after seeing that amazing thing (the bush on fire but not burning) and God showing him other amazing things, Moses still responded with: "Please send someone else to do it." He gave the excuse that he wasn't good at speaking - even after seeing the amazing things that God did, he still didn't think that God could use him in such an amazing way.

Delhi is 1% Christian and of those Christians there are many that feel and act the same way Moses did. They don't feel that they can do amazing things to reach Delhi. They don't have the confidence - even after seeing amazing miracles that have been done in this city and in their lives. Please pray for confidence in the Christians of Delhi. Pray that they will be bold and active in sharing their faith and know that God can use them to do amazing things!
