The Eternal Kingdom: WHY ARE THE REFUGEES COMING?

WHY ARE THE REFUGEES COMING?

The so called “Western World” is suddenly being flooded with refugees; mostly from Muslim countries. As we shared in our messages on understanding God’s judgements, He is in charge of everything. This includes this flood of refugees. People coming from Muslim countries are nothing new. There has been a trickle for a number of years. Now there is a flood. Why?

Jesus left us with instructions to go into the entire world, preach the good news about Jesus, and make disciples. Could our failure to do this be the reason He is sending this flood of refugees? Some would say that we have gone into the world with the gospel. The question is, “have we made it the priority God intended it to be?” The fact, that less than 10% of The Churches income worldwide is spent on missions, indicates we are not as concerned about reaching the unsaved as Christ would want us to be. Jesus said that where our money (treasure) is indicates where our heart is. The spending, of many who call themselves Christian, demonstrates that they are more concerned about their own personal comfort than in reaching the world with the news of The Kingdom.

Could it be that our love of this world causes us to react in fear instead of faith when we see those who may want to destroy us headed our way? God has not given us the spirit of fear, but of power, love and a sound mind. The Spirit of love can only empower us when we love God and His Kingdom more than we love ourselves and the things of this world. This Spirit will cause us to see this flood of refugees as an opportunity to reach souls who have not heard about Jesus with the good news of The Kingdom.

The time has come for those who call themselves Christian to change their priorities. God’s commission to The Church has not changed. God’s people must abandon their love of this world and minister to the people He sends to us. If we do this, we will be blessed. If we don't, the situation will destroy us.

Question: Is reaching the lost for Christ your priority?

Rita's Story

Rita was married to Bud McDonald for 33 years. Bud McDonald (1942-2003) was called to ministry in Latin America in 1973.

Bud and Rita were married in 1970 in Baytown, Texas just a few years before being called to ministry. Their ministry gradually spread from Belize to Nicaragua, Costa Rica, Honduras, Guatemala and El Salvador then finally to Mexico. Through their ministry, first starting with the Burton McDonald Evangelistic Association, then changing over to The Sower, Inc. in 1983, Bud and Rita started over 140 churches throughout Central America and Mexico.

Bud’s influence extended from Argentina to Cuba through Central America into parts of Texas and the Southern U.S. through evangelistic crusades, meetings, radio and television.

Rita McDonald began serving in ministry alongside her husband Bud soon after their marriage. She used her secretarial skills in editing and typing a weekly Christian newspaper, and in helping Bud compile a Bible correspondence school. She led worship in new churches they started, and taught weekly children’s Sunday school classes as well as vacation Bible schools. After moving back to the US in the 80’s she co-pastored several churches with her husband, led a Bible study at a local Christian Television station and continued to be active in the work in Latin America.

She home-schooled all four of their children through high school.

In response to God’s leading she married Henry Pulsifer in November 2010, and is his partner as he fulfills the ministry God has given him. Their main focus is providing training to native leaders outside the U.S. This includes working with Bud's son Scott to provide training for the leaders in the work he established.
