Dear Young Christian:
Today I am in Saint Kitts, which is part of what is known as the Eastern Caribbean. This morning, with two of my fellow-workers in Christ, one from the USA, and one from the island of Saint Vincent, we visited a government school. It had been prearranged for us to have some time to speak to the students as they were gathered in the courtyard during their morning assembly. It is amazing to be in countries where they still welcome and encourage missionaries to come and present the gospel to the boys and girls and young people. This morning as the students filed back to their classrooms they played the well known hymn, “Jesus Loves Me” over the loudspeaker. Coming from North America where, in most areas, it is forbidden to even mention God or Christ in the schools, two of us shook our heads in wonder, and I thought of the Scripture that says, “Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord” (Psalm 33:12). How thankful we are that there are still corners of the world where God and His Son are at least outwardly owned and reverenced.
Your Christian Friend,
Jim Hyland
