Last night, my family and several of the FHCC crew had the privilege of having dinner with one of our missionaries, Jed Lindstrom. Jed is from Minneapolis, and has a great story of how God supernaturally delivered him from a life that was going nowhere fast. God not only forgave Jed of all his sins, but placed a sovereign call upon his life to preach. Since then, Jed has been traveling around the US, going into the inner city and hurting places, proclaiming the Gospel to drug addicts, street thugs, Wall Street execs., prostitutes, and just about anyone else riding in a Subway car. And over dinner last night, Jed was full of new stories of what God had done and who He had saved. It was really encouraging.But, I think the thing I love the most about Jed, is not the results of his ministry or even his bold no-nonsense approach. What I love about Jed, is his incredible love for the Lord. What motivates Jed to go where he is not wanted, with money he does not have, to be threatened, rejected, or worse, is not adrenaline, fear, or even human desire; it's the love of Jesus. Jed knows what God has done in his life, and he is grateful. Jed lives his life in response to God, resulting in God being glorified and people being saved.
Please remember to pray for Jed. He lives his life completely dependent on the Lord (housing, food, income, etc.). He is great brother, and we are honored to support him through our prayers and finances!
