I am not going to put a name on this man because he goes where no man wants to go. If you recognize a man who is like this, you may just assume I am speaking of him and pray to your heart's content.

Years ago a man came to our church during a revival. He was of a race that I am not too familiar with, and he is a missionary. He never spoke a word to me or to anyone that I could hear. I have just heard and read about him. He is a leader among men. He is quiet, from all that I have seen, and all I had was a glimpse. He simply walked around the church building and didn't appear to look at anyone, just circled the congregation before services began. In "my heart" I thought, "I KNOW him!" "Hey, Look guys! I know this man! Isn't he wonderful?" "Don't you want to sit and visit with him?" "Put your arms around and hold him?" "He doesn't ask for much, but he gives everything..."

This man holds a very high position in ministry and I've never heard a pastor say his name on TV. He operates in the 10-40 window. When it costs someone from our country $2000 a month to live semi-comfortably over there, it only costs him $200. The ones he has taught and worked with only need $100 a month to survive on. They are the underground workers. They go places they are not only unwelcomed, they are hunted.

I saw him on one of the videos from the media. He was dressed to look like all the other workers on the beach somewhere after the tsunami. He looked healthy and strong. He looked dead into the camera lens, but did not hesitate for one second to continue moving the debris with his shovel. He was not smiling, but I sensed that he was saying, "Yes, I'm here."

Please pray for him and others as God would put the words on your heart. Pray like he was your grandfather, dad, brother, cousin, son, uncle. Pray like you haven't seen him for a long time and hope to see him again soon. Please pray for his protection wherever he goes and whatever he does. I never met this man, but God knows him intimately, through and through.
