The sound of a roomful of people praying early in the morning.
The ring of a different accent preaching God's Word each night.
The challenge of knowing that relatively few of the nearly 7,000 languages have a full copy of the Bible.
The question of what one is willing to sacrifice to follow Christ.
The different voices reading Revelation 4 and 5 in 24 languages.
These are the things that stick out in my memory from this year's missions conference, Many Languages One Word.
I have always enjoyed Faith's mission conference. It is a busy time of the school year, and I am always overly ambitious in what I am going to get done, but it is challenging nonetheless.
(All the speakers, plus some of the SMF officers)
The main speakers were Hantz Bernard, who grew up in Hatti; J.D. Enosh, who was on his first trip to the U.S. from India; and Stephen Muindi, who was from Kenya.
I'm not going to lie; I loved their accents. All of them spoke English very well, but each one had a distinct accent. Their messages were challenging and convicting. If you were not at the conference, I would suggest going to Faith.edu to listen to the audio of the messages.
Unfortunately, now I need to work on everything I didn't get done last week but probably should have.
