An Amazing Fact: The world watched horrified as more than 180 people lost their lives when terrorists attacked several sites across Mumbai, India. Among the targets was a Jewish visitors center, Chabad House, run by young Rabbi Holtzberg and his wife. When gunmen first stormed the house, Sandra Samuel - the Holtzberg's Indian nanny for their 2-year-oldson Moshe - instinctively hid in a room and locked the door. But when she heard Mrs. Holtzberg screaming for help, Sandra thought of little Moshe (Moses in English), who was still upstairs, and realized she had to do something! Risking her life, Sandra unlocked the door and entered the line of fire, dashing upstairs, where she found little Moshe crying by the lifeless bodies of his parents . somehow, in the hail of bullets, the terrorists had missed the little Jewish toddler. Sandra scooped up the traumatized child, shielding him with her body, then in plain sight of the terrorists made a daring dash for the exit. It was a miraculous escape, because they were the only survivors of the Jewish Center massacre. This heart-wrenching story of daring and deliverance brings to mind similar Bible stories of rescued babies who were targeted for destruction - when someone put their lives on the front lines to intervene. Baby Moses, Joash, and even Jesus were all on the devil's hit list, but they were rescued because someone braved the front lines to save them. Together, we can do the same.
Our marching orders from Jesus are clear: “Go ye therefore, and teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost” (Matthew 28:19). We are to reach the world with the three angels’ messages.
But there’s a problem. There are currently about 6.7 BILLION people in the world. And every day, the earth sees a net increase of 250,000 human beings per day … or 91 million per year!
