Maasai Chief Tithes $30,000 | AWR360°
Our country is in the grip of a virulent crisis that most of us have never faced before. If it has taught us anything, it’s that things can change in a moment—overnight. If you had visited Egypt just four months before the liberation of the people of Israel, everything would have been the same as it had been for the past 400 years—not a hint of what was coming. Yet in four months, they were on their way to the Promised Land. How do we prepare for our Promised Land? Jesus explained it in the story of the talents—it boils down to faithfulness. He said, “He who is faithful in little, will be faithful in much.” (Luke 16:10) This is a video of Abraham—a Maasai cattle owner from Tanzania. He can’t read or write, but he decided he would be faithful with his trust—and miracles followed! Watch his story and be inspired! One day soon, he will hear Jesus say, “Well done, good and faithful servant . . . enter in the joy of your Master!” (Matthew 25:21) May that be our experience as well. —Duane McKey, President MB01PY87RDHITOK Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VKmsIUhseA
