My position here has become more complicated than I expected. Being a missionary is a strange thing. I met with a man today who is looking for work. We have work. I have the authority to hire people for work. I am caught between wanting to provide consistent employment for the men who already answer to me, and at the same time wanting to be a good follower of Jesus. I know that mana, when stored or hoarded, will rot and be of no use to anyone. I also know of the Lord’s provision to His children. I know that I am not to throw my pearls before pigs, and that a man who tries to save his life will lose it.
I have been instructed through scripture to be both bold and generous in the name of my God. It wasn’t until after my meeting with this man that Sajmir told me what he thought. Sajmir comes from a world of absolutes. There are things which are clear, and things which are clearer still to some minds. I have been taught to hesitate even when following the call of God. I nearly talked myself out of coming on this mission, for example, even though it has been clear that the will of God has led me here.
I am looking forward to starting work with Gony tomorrow. I have told Sajmir that he and Gony will work side-by-side in the coming days as this man’s value as a laborer comes to show. The risk in any hiring is always firing. Heroes aren’t heroes for long.

Good observation, son. Over a short enough period of time, a worker will reveal that he wants the work, or he wants the paycheck, or he wants power. He will prove (or not) that he can be trusted (is honest), and/or he can be trusted (to do the work he was hired to perform). Only time will tell.
You are a very good man, to give him the opportunity. Perhaps he will meet Christ somewhere in the work. Perhaps the other workers will see Christ in the role you provide. Most likely, they have seen Him more than once in the three months since you arrived.
Love you!
