It’s birthing season here in the jungle. We have seen many mama’s parading their newborns in and around the villages and roadsides. Yesterday we came upon a number of elephants with their young along the edges of the jungle road. The babies hid safely under their moms who foraged enough grasses to supply their massive bodies while they nursed their offspring.
The mama monkeys are a constant source of entertainment. Last week the newborns were clinging to their moms. This week, the moms are teaching the babies how to navigate through the trees and walk on fences. I don’t think the females of any species is ever busier than when they are taking care of babies and teaching them how to survive in a place full of predators and danger.
In the same way, God has given us the privilege of teaching others how to stay spiritually safe in a world of unseen predators and danger. The worldview is laced with misinformation and deception like never before. Like the monkeys and elephants showing their young the right way to go, we also have been shown the right way through the truth of God’s Word – The Bible. We join countless others around the world who are teaching the truth of God’s Word to the faithful who are hungry to hear it. But the work is far from done. Many are being deceived and in need of hearing the truth of Scripture.
Sal has had a busy week of conferences and a Pastoral Training Session. He has taught three different topics at three conferences in the last six days – The Tabernacle, Daniel and The Second Coming. He also met with a group of pastors who are enlisted to join the Zoom Academy in May. Sal shared with them from the Book of Ephesians how to live as godly examples as they shepherd their flocks. Like the young animal being shown the way to survive, the attendees to the meetings are just as hungry to learn how to live and follow God’s ways.
