introduced to Bocca Sunday afternoon
a man from Chad
a Christian
raised and taught in the midst of Arabs
immersed in the muslim culture
granted a scholarship
attended seminary in the US
won all sorts of awards
had all sorts of offers
mega churches
mega salary
typical US lifestyle
cars
pools
big house
etc
but
Bocca
chose to return home
to Chad
to be with his people
and tell them of this man Jesus
now
gaunt
malnourished
no salary
no big church
exhausted
but
when asked how he is
he answered
my pockets are empty
but my heart is very full
this is one who takes off his shoes
because he sees a burning bush
