The 700 Most Important Men in Asia

The news this morning was that intelligence sources believe there are 700 active Jemaiyah Islamiah members in Indonesia.
We're worried about 700 radicals in a population of 245 million people! ...

Well of course we are. 700 fanatical bombers could wreak huge damage to Western people and interests, particularly in places such as Bali and Jakarta. And with the corrupt nature of the judicial system there, they could get off scot-free.

But this got me to thinking.

If 700 committed, radical people burning with a destructive ideology of hatred can affect a nation of 245 million, what could the same number of people burning with the gospel of life achieve?

Or 60 people in Australia's population of 20 million?

Or just one person in Narrabri?

One person literally overwhelmed with the love of God, totally, radically committed to sharing God's love with everyone they meet?

That person could change a city. That city could change a nation.

Is that person you?

And what does this say about the rest of us who call ourselves christians?
