A Twelve-Year-Old Girl

There is a twelve-year-old girl in a desert country who is helping her family reach families with The Best Story. You know what it is that makes her brave enough to do this?

It's not that she's fluent in the local language.

It's not that she's got lots of experience sharing the Good News.

It's not that she's the super poster child for TCKs*.

What makes her brave is that she has a nativity set. A nativity set and willingness.

Willingness to sit in the heat.

Willingness to sit through a long visit (and a lot of coffee drinking by the adults).

Willingness to let her dad translate for her (have you ever tried to speak with a translator? It's tricky and requires patience).

Willingness to say yes.

So a twelve-year-old girl in a desert country takes out her nativity set and arranges it on a flat space. She tells the story: The Best Story. And families in a desert country hear the story. Maybe for the first time ever.
