The REST of the STORY

He did not look like a refugee, but we at the Oasis were able to give him the WORD of God.  He spoke German very well, but Arabic was his language of choice when it came to READING.  Because of his QUESTION I am pretty sure he has never been to the Oasis.  What you see here in the PICTURE is what he brought to me.  He wanted to know if we had the WHOLE BOOK.  My answer:  YES, WE DO!

What you see pictured is HALF of the book of Luke, the gospel.  It had been torn in half and this was the HALF this man brought to us.

FILL IN THE BLANKS:  

He somehow KNEW that it was likely that he could get a full copy of this book at the Oasis.  
PRAISE THE _______ for this insight!

Sadly someone had likely taken this tract from the Oasis and tore it in half.  BUT, what they discarded as trash, another found and saw as a TREASURE.   PRAISE THE __________ for that which was FOUND!

The Oasis has many tracts and gospels we can give away in more than 50 LANGUAGES.  
PRAISE THE  __________ for this opportunity!

Before he left, this man asked me a reaffirming question:  "Is this the WHOLE book of Luke?"          
My answer:  "______ it is!"

Isaiah 55:10--11
10 As the rain and the snow   come down from heaven,
and do not return to it    without watering the earth
and making it bud and flourish, 
 so that it yields seed for the sower and bread for the eater,
11 so is MY WORD that goes out from my mouth:
It will not return to me empty,  but will accomplish what I desire
    and achieve the purpose for which I sent it.
