At first blush, it seems amazing the lengths people will go to for a sense of peace. Then again, if you’ve ever been without peace, you know how desperate you can become to find it.
It reminds me of an Old Testament story – 2 Kings 5 and the story of Naaman. He too, went a long way for healing – to another country as well. And he nearly missed out on it because it seemed too easy. I wonder how many folks traveling to Peru have had the opportunity to hear about Jesus? I wonder how many of them thought that was too easy, too familiar, insultingly accessible? A reminder of how much need there is for prayer and for people willing to share with others about the peace they’ve found in Jesus.
