Mission Challenge: "Seeing the Need in Singapore" The Recent Mission Outreach... ...from Joshua's Dunagan's Perspective - age 14
"How could these people worship a god that has to be dusted?"
The smell of incense was strong and Dad and I entered a Buddhist temple a few weeks ago in Singapore. It shocked me to see so many “normal-looking” people bowing down to such weird-looking idols!
As we stood and quietly watched from the back of the temple, I was so thankful that I didn’t have to worship some stupid statue. After a couple of minutes, a temple worker walked into the glass idol case and started dusting off the idols – right in front of everybody! I thought, “How could these people worship a god that has to be dusted?!”
This mission trip came as a real surprise to me, as I found out only a week ahead of time. The United States had just declared war on Iraq, so airline tickets were really cheap, and we saw it as an opportunity to GO! The Bible says in the last days “...you shall hear of wars and rumors of wars; see that you are not troubled... And this gospel of the kingdom will be preached in all the world as a witness unto all the nations, and then the end will come.” (Matthew 24:6,14).
The entire outreach was a great eye-opener for me. From witnessing to taxi-drivers next to massive Asian skyscrapers, to passing out Bibles in a small Malaysian fishing village, I saw for myself that people everywhere really need Jesus!
