"Closed" countries, but open hearts

So I went to a "closed" country. People are not allowed there on a "missionary" visa. Does that mean no one cares or wants to know about Jesus? No! It means the knowledge of Jesus is not widely available there as it is in many other countries. It means it is hard for those who want to know about Christianity to find out. It means that there are many people with loads of questions, willing to listen. Can you believe it? You have a message that brings light, life and salvation-and they want to listen. All you have to do it go and be prepared to answer questions based on what you believe and know to be true from the Word. You're not trying to save the whole country, but glorify God by sharing with those who seek to know.

—Teri, a student worker in Central Asia
