When I used ANA lounge at New-Chitose airport after so long, I found an interesting article on Japanese version of Newsweek magazine published on 2nd of Mar. This article was about a referendum for separatist in Sudan, North Africa. Since the government established Islamic law, the South of Sudan where many Christians live tried to attain independent. It was an important referendum. As a result of it, 98.8% citizens supported independence and the South Sudan Republic will be born on 9th of July formally. Thanks to an invocation of one “celebrity diplomat”, they could turn the table from desperate situation. The Hollywood actor is George Clooney. He had visited Sudan for the past 5 years and engaged in humanitarian activities. He had a shocking experience when a refugee village where he gave donations was attacked and some people were killed. After that, he used all of his funds, publicity, and network, launched a satellite, and contended with this mission.
When I see this historical news as viewed from the perspective of Christian, I can say two things. First, God used the Hollywood actor to save Christians. Secondly, the result was everything not only participating in this humanitarian activity. There is a mission which is worthy only to participate it. On the other hand, there is a mission we have to fulfill. Paul went to Rome for his life and Thomas fulfilled his mission in India without making compromise. These are the wonderful examples because they followed what the Lord said and made wonderful fruits in consequence.
John 15:16
