Missionary in the Middle East, Luke Waite writes: A deep rumbling echoes through the air. The sky is overcast today and it sounds like thunder, but I know it isn’t. Its source is more sinister. Though I can’t see them, Iranian missiles and attack drones soar far overhead, threatening destruction. I thank God for His common grace to the country where I live in the Middle East as it launches interceptors to neutralize these powerful weapons. As I begin to breathe out prayers on behalf of my family and church, the ominous rumbling continues. In moments of crisis, missionaries need the Spirit to blow the wind of His Word in their hearts to clear away that blinding fog. Scripture is sufficient to help missionaries in these afflictions by reminding them of what is true, even as the world around them seems to fall apart.
