Below is a ten minute documentary of my life as an intercessory missionary, titled "This is My Wasted Life."
I made this after switching to days. It highlights the Justice Prayer Room, as well as how I spend my "prayer room hours" and "service hours." (For more a more detailed, non-visual description of what I do, see here.)
"Have our eyes been opened to see the preciousness of the One whom we are serving? Have we come to see that nothing less than the dearest, the costliest, the most precious, is fit for him? Have we recognized that working for the poor, working for the benefit of the world, working for the souls of men and for the eternal good of the sinner--all these so necessary and valuable things--are right only if they are in their place?...
"The Lord has to open our eyes to his worth... The idea of waste only comes into our Christianity when we underestimate the worth of our Lord...
"Oh, to be wasted! It is a blessed thing to be wasted for the Lord. So many who have been prominent in the Christian world know nothing of this. Many of us have been used to the full-- have been used, I would say, too much-- but we do not know what it means to be 'wasted on God.'"
~Watchman Nee, excerpts from "The Normal Christian Life"
"And while he was at Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he was reclining at table, a woman came with an alabaster flask of ointment of pure nard, very costly, and she broke the flask and poured it over his head.
"There were some who said to themselves indignantly, 'Why was the ointment wasted like that? For this ointment could have been sold for more than three hundred denarii and given to the poor." And they scolded her.
"But Jesus said, 'Leave her alone. Why do you trouble her? She has done a beautiful thing to me. For you always have the poor with you, and whenever you want, you can do good for them. But you will not always have me. She has done what she could; she has anointed my body beforehand for burial. And truly, I say to you, wherever the gospel is proclaimed in the whole world, what she has done will be told in memory of her.'"
~Mark 4:3-9
