Who First Told You About Jesus?
Who first told you about Jesus? How did you hear about Him in a way that made sense to you…and led you to respond? 
 
In North America, we have thousands of opportunities a day to hear about Jesus. Pat heard the good news of Jesus as teenager from a youth counselor. Annie found Jesus Christ through a radio broadcast. Like many, Steve learned about Jesus from his mom and dad. Jerry heard the Gospel from the beginning—in church at three days old!  
On the other hand, Ebo was nearly 100 years old. He lived his long life in a community along the Somali border where there was no witness for Jesus Christ—until Aman and disciple-makers from a Global Disciples partner program came to visit. They met Ebo at a well, and in conversation introduced him to Jesus Christ.  

"Where did you hide this good news?" Ebo cried as he accepted Jesus. In joy, he invited the whole community to evening coffee, declaring his new faith in Christ and encouraging them to believe the Good News. And they did!
