The Longest Hundred Yards
An American football field is 100 yards long between end zones, and when a team's offense takes the field near its own goal line, the thought of marching all the way down the field can be intimidating. In the case of missionaires "Steve" and "Hope," whom God has called to reach the Domari Gypsies of North Africa, they say the hardest ground for them to cover is "the hundred yards...from the road to where the gypsies are staying" in their tents. But they pray, and then they walk those hundred yards to build relationships with the gypsies. Now, let's bring this thought home. What barriers are you facing in the "hundred yards" between you and your unsaved neighbors? Let's all pray for the courage and opportunity to walk across the street and share Christ's love with them.
