The photograph on the Lottie Moon promotion poster, ‘Dispel the Darkness,’ was a perfect theme for the International missions study, the Week of Prayer and the Lottie Moon Christmas Offering.
What a wonderful way to capture the attention of the Southern Baptists and sharing the gospel among the unreached peoples of the world. Where there is no light, no life.
Christians have to light the way to God. It is important that people in this dark world discover Jesus, the divine source of God’s light.
The man in the photograph, a Christian member of the Samburu tribe of East Africa, is translating the Christian Bible into his tribal language. God brightens the writer’s world with the presence of His light, Jesus Christ. Behind the writer is darkness. No light, no life. Jesus can light the darkness of the unreached peoples of the world. Without Him the world would be in the darkness of sin.
