Brenda spoke to the administrative board with a quavering voice, filled with emotion. "I don't want to go, I am afraid, but I must go because God will not let me do otherwise, and I need your help."
She went on to tell us of her prayers and the sleep she had lost because her soul was burdened for a group of young people who lived nearby in an unchurched community. The many wild tales that came from the community would fill a large book. Drug abuse, robberies, and brawls were common occurrences.
The administrative board answered her plea. Brenda, with the help of her husband and others, went into the community because the Spirit had driven Brenda. Today, a youth program has been established, and many youth have been reached for Christ.
"The Spirit driveth him into the wilderness." Nearly 2,000 years later we are enjoying salvation from sin because Jesus was willing to be driven by the Spirit who seeks to drive us into creative wilderness confrontations in our day.
