I even saw potential marriage candidates (of course that was a joke), but what I saw was a true community.  Ugandans, Tanzanians, Rwandans, Koreans, Americans, Korean-Americans unified in one God  one mission  one life  one cross.  Everyone was there to fight the good fight.  Everyone was there for the sake of Jesus Holy Christ

 As I boarded the truck, our teams bided farewell and so long.  To be honest, I never liked to cry nor did I enjoy it.  I was filled with a strong bond with this community.  I did not want to leave, but I knew my time was now.  I had to leave.  My purpose had been fulfilled.  I fought the good fight.  I won the good fight.  I won it through the name of Jesus Christ.  Everyone knew that.  I waved farewell to our missionary teams in that Kigali guest house.  I waved and waved till I saw them no more.  As we drove off through the bumpy dirt road, tears started to fill my eyes.
  "I love Africa.  I love my friends.  I love Jesus." I thought

     The Invitation

This essay is dedicated to all the readers  and especially for the glorification of the Kingdom of God.
If you have not accepted Jesus Christ as your personal Lord and savior, but feel Jesus knocking at your heart, please, don't reject it.  Don't shrug it off.  Accept Jesus into your life.
Here are the steps for you to have Jesus come into your life:

   First, you must admit you are a sinner  in other words, admit that you are imperfect.  Recognize that God is the true and all-perfect omnipotent God because ?all men fall short of the glory of God.? Romans 3:23

Second, you must acknowledge that Christ died on the cross for your sins.  It does not matter if you are the typical Christian-like person because Ephesians 2:8-9 says "For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith  and this not from yourselves, it is the gift of God  not by works, so that no one can boast."  Christ died for you.  Your sins and wrongdoings are justified through Christ's blood  suffering  and death.  You must understand that Christ came to take your sins away.

   Third, once you acknowledge your sins, you must change your life in accordance to Christ.  Mark 8:34 says ?If anyone would come after me, [ Jesus,], he must deny himself and take up his cross and follow me.?  If you are to live a life where Christ takes away your sin, you must live renewed life.  You are not meant to stay a sinner, but a sinner who is now redeemed and justified and living according to Christ.

   If you accept all these things and want Jesus in your life right now, you can ask Him through a simple prayer.  If you don't know how to pray, it's okay.  You can follow this prayer.  "Dear Lord Jesus.  Thank you for coming into my life and thank you for dying on the cross for my sins.  I ask that you be the center of my life and I will live a renewed life according to you  Jesus.  I ask that from this day forth, you will be in my life from now and forever more.  Amen."

   If you accepted Jesus Christ into your life?congratulations!  You have my promise that one day, we will be praising the Lord Jesus 24/7 together in the heavenly realms because Jesus promised us eternal life.  ?For God so loved the world, that he gave His only begotten son.  That whosoever believes in Him, shall not perish, but have everlasting life.?  John 3:16.

You are now in God's family.

   This was the exact same invitation we did with the Africans to give them the opportunity to accept the Lord Jesus as their personal savior.  If you accept Jesus as your personal Lord and savior, you will meet these saved people once you go to heaven.  I guarantee it through the blood of Christ.

   This essay was made without any use of references or materials (excluding the Bible).  It was straight from the heart and straight from God's work.  All these events happened nearly at the exact time given.  Nothing was made up.  Everything was true.  Otherwise, I would not have remembered a thing.  Thank you and God bless.
