Taking on the challenge by Vicky Bentley

I remember Chaplain James Olal telling my husband Wes during a recent refresher course, “Wes, there is not one man out there that doesn’t want to be a Daniel. They hear you share, they hear your heart and they want it.” We sat back in awe…I quietly bowed my heart and thanked God to see Him answering our prayers for revival.
On June 8th the chaplains serving at the Bible Training Center here in South Sudan shared their testimonies via a Skype call during our Savannah Nights Event. I got this email from a dear friend of the ministry and pastor who has come several times to teach:
“I just wanted to let you know how great last night went. We were so inspired through the chaplains…that it made me go home and recommit my life and give up any ambition I may have had aside from fulfilling the Great Commission. How could you not completely sell out to Jesus Christ after that incredible, soul-stirring presentation from our chaplains…
You brought the joy of the Lord over Skype last night in a wonderful way. God’s work reaches down into our very soul with the love of God and moves us to sell out for Him. Surely you and Wes must know how your life in Sudan has encouraged us to stay committed to our calling to be sold out to God at any cost.
Even in turmoil [within our day to day ministry] God never lets go. When I see what God is doing in our ministry in Africa I realize how petty these little dips in the road are. God is powerful enough to take care of anyone that may come against us in ministry because it is His, and the gates of hell will not prevail against it!
Thanks again for selling out to Jesus! You guys always have inspired me to give my life to Him completely. May God encourage and bless you to day. Please give my greeting and blessings to James, Lino, Joseph, and the senior chaplains. I miss them terribly and will be back soon…”
Over the past months God has led Wes to boldly extend a call to repentance. I’ve been able to listen as he urged church bodies in various countries to lay their entire lives on the altar of God. He even warns the men that often when he gives the altar call the first 10-20 who respond are women. He lovingly reminds the men it ought not to be so, that men have been given the privilege and mandate to lead. I love praying and watching God move…
This brother who wrote after Savannah Nights, took the challenge to relinquish self to the last drop and you can hear the joy and passion freely flowing from His heart…
What about you?
If your life is not ABLAZE for Jesus you are missing out…
Don’t wait even a second longer…
Bow, let Him burn up your distractions and bring you into His holy presence…
Be free…
Be changed…
Take the challenge…
DARE TO BE ALL JESUS WANTS YOU TO BE!
