It seems like the majority of people in American society believe God exists to serve THEM, and if He doesn’t, then He must not exist at all. In other parts of the world where people trust in God to provide their next meal, clean water, and shoes for their children, the gospel is much more prevalent. People in America have their basic needs met – even the poorest of the poor. We don’t have a “need” for anything other than to impress one another with new gadgets and money. We have doctors and pills to bring us some kind of healing, whereas in other parts of the world, the people cry out to the Lord to save them from death, and they put their trust in Him. I would love to live in a part of the world for a time where the definition of prosperity has nothing to do with money or social status. I want to see through these peoples’ eyes; share the same faith that they share. I want to get away from the Western Church long enough to know what prosperity really is.
