Hey everyone. I would like you to add this young man onto your prayer list or when you think of this post.
Jonathan's Father was a well known Pastor in my country who passed away a few years ago. After he went to be with the Lord, his family fell apart. The Pastors wife left to live in America and Jonathan [a teenager at the time] took on the responsibility to taking care of his little sister and their financial affairs. I met him a few times when a friend brought him over to visit while they was going to bible college.
It always seemed to be a battle to follow his train of thought because he was so philosophical in his idealistic view of life in general as a believer. My first impression was that he was extremely intelligent but my concern was that his intelligence was drawing him away from the simplicity of Christ.
The last time I heard from him was through a text message in 2011. He believed that God sent him to a particular city to preach the word of God. He is a very bold young man who doesn't have a problem going up to strangers to preach the gospel.
Just recently, another friend [not a believer] spotted him in that same city. He was in rags and living on the street. This friend thought that he was in a very bad way and believed that he was at deaths door...He offered to give him some money but he refused. He also asked him if he would like to go and have something to eat with him but he refused that also. I was very sad to hear what had become of Jonathan and told my friend that when he spots him again to ask him to come and stay with me. Hopefully I will be able to help him and get him back on the right path.
Please pray for him because I really do think that the voice he is hearing right now is not the voice of God and I truly think he needs some sisterly TLC.
Bless you!!!
