More Sauls

A and I pray around the world most nights.  We take her globe and put our finger on a country and pray for it. Of course having lived in a country that we truly love, our prayers are a bit more specific.  The other day I was reading in Acts and I had this epiphany and prayed.  I prayed for more Sauls in the country we once called home.  There is persecution of the church there... burned to the ground, assaults, and threats... And as I read in Acts how Saul was one of those who went around looking for believers to bring them down and had a desire to get rid of all of them... I thought how amazing our God is and how He brought Saul into His kingdom.  As soon as Saul became a follower of Christ, his life was in danger... ironic how his life became that of those he was after.  So I ask that you pray this with me.  The Sauls of the world to come to Christ and be amazing agents for the kingdom.
