I don’t have the skills SHALOM MESSENGER that are needed.” However, by placing our trust in His Divine Will for us and humbling ourselves before Him, we gave a resounding ‘YES’ to all that He has asked of us. Toiling for Christ Sometimes this can be a struggle for us. All we want to do is to throw the towel in and give up. We are all pushed for time; with studies to worry about, our families to provide for and the work we must do to get by. But none of that is a restriction to give back to God the time He has given us. We can all do our part, no matter how small. God can use what we give and do incredible things with it! We don’t know how our actions can change lives all around the world. Our prayers, time and fnancial support takes Shalom Media one step further in bringing the Kingdom of God here on earth. I pray that we who know the love of God may over ourselves as vessels for Him to transform lives all around the world. 59

He was a person who could 66 never reject my requests, even as they changed from pretty dolls and passed auditions to heartfelt conversions and lasting healings. Yet, when I asked for the souls of my friends, I didn’t receive the usual ease and comfort I expected. Instead I got the sense that my response came in two parts: “Yes, but you must work for them.” The first time, it was easy to brush off - my parents brought me to church programs and I was well aware of the good in missionary work; it just seemed far off in the future. But, when I asked again and again, I always received the same feeling: “You must work.” This became more troubling as the years passed by. The worries I brought were no longer cheating on tests and arguing on playgrounds, they were empty medicine bottles and cuts on wrists. I started to know more people my age who’d been touched by mental illness, depression, and anxiety than those who hadn’t been.

Most I knew never intended to arrive at those situations in the first place. However, the pain they held inside, and the actions they took to numb that pain, led them to believe that they had no choice. Deep inside each person is the intense desire for connection. We want to be accepted, if only by ourselves. The society we know builds ideas of how we can satisfy this craving, through finding a passion, best friend, or romantic partner. All those things are quite difficult, so most people try other ways to be happy, through money, experiences and the like. Yet, we can’t help but be hurt when we feel our lack of connection, when we hear about activities we weren’t invited to, when no one notices our silence behind the “I’m fine.” Paired with ever increasing expectations at home, school, and work, individuals are told that they must mature as soon as possible to achieve success and happiness.
