The Cry from the Basement

Posted on by

Have you ever prayed, “Lord, what is Your purpose for my life?”

I want to share a call to Global Missions with a scene from Gone With the Wind and an illustration about searching for your place in God’s kingdom.

A Scene from Gone With the Wind — and a Call to Global Missions

A woman in our church had a dream in which she was walking through various rooms of a beautiful mansion, but she was feeling left out and unneeded. In her dream, this woman finally found a particular ‘room’ she loved. At last, she felt ‘at home’ in the mansion and soon she was making friends and given a perfect job to do.

This lady’s dream was related in a sermon illustration, with the mansion representing God’s kingdom and rooms representing various churches and congregations. Just as this woman had found her ‘place in the house’ (a church family and a place of ministry where she could thrive) the sermon encouraged each person to seek God for His purposes.

Using this example, I spent some time in prayer, asking the Lord to reveal His will and desire for me and for our family ‘in His house.’

As I was walking and praying on the wooded trails surrounding our family’s home, I felt like I saw a similar picture in my mind:

I too was in a mansion, somewhat like the opening scenes of Scarlett O’Hara’s home, Tara, from Gone With the Wind.

As I entered various rooms I suddenly found myself:

    • in the kitchen of my local church,
    • in a vendor hall of a homeschooling convention,
    • in a living room,
    • and in churches.

Then, in my thoughts,
I felt led to go downstairs to a massive basement.

As I looked over this ‘room’ (which suddenly appeared to be outdoors), I was reminded of another scene from Gone With the Wind when Scarlett is searching for the doctor to help with her friend Melanie’s birth. In the movie, Scarlett steps through a graphic Civil War scene, with many wounded soldiers lying in row-after-row on the ground, moaning for help. As the imagery is captured on film, the camera pans to a broader-and-broader view as the intense scope of the Civil War’s casualties are revealed. Finally, when Scarlett finds the frazzled doctor and begs him to come help, the doctor responds:

“Are you crazy? I can’t leave these men for a baby! They’re dying … bleeding to death in front of my eyes, no chlorophyll, no bandages, nothin’ to even ease their pain!”

 


Click the video to view this famous scene from Gone With The Wind.

In my mind, I envisioned an open-air scene filled with people.
As my view expanded, wider-and-wider,
I saw massive crowd with many faces and nationalities
and hundreds of crying children.

I knew they represented people from around the world,
orphans who needed to be rescued
and SOULS who needed to be saved.

And just like that lone doctor in Gone With the Wind,
hardly anyone was working in this ‘room.’

People were dying everywhere
and the need was beyond anything I had ever seen.

As I prayed, I felt the Lord speak to my heart:

You are called to THIS room,
to help with the needs of the basement.
But you’re also called upstairs
to other rooms in My House,
to get others to come help.

The need is great
and there aren’t enough workers.

Go to families, women,
homeschoolers and churches.

But don’t get distracted
by the needs in the other rooms.

Romans 10:14-15 tells us,
“How shall they hear without a preacher …
and how shall they preach unless they are sent.”

 

If you are searching for your ‘place’ in God’s house,
please remember the cries from the basement.

Listen to an mp3 teaching
highlighting this quote

The tom-toms thumped straight on all night, and the darkness shuddered ‘round me like a living, feeling thing. I could not go to sleep, so I lay awake and looked; and I saw, as it seemed, this:

That I stood on a grassy precipice, and at my feet at crevice broke down into infinite space. I looked, but saw no bottom; only cloud shapes, black and furiously coiled, and great shadow-shrouded hollows, and unfathomable depths. Back I drew, dizzy at the depth.

Then I saw forms of people moving in single file along the grass. They were making for the edge. There was a woman with a baby in her arms and another little child holding onto her dress. She was on the very verge. Then I saw that she was blind. She lifted her foot for the next step . . . it trod air. She was over, and the children over with her. Oh, they cry as they went over!

Then I saw more streams of people flowing from all quarters. All were blind, stone blind; and all made straight for the crevice’s edge. They were shrieks as they suddenly knew in themselves that they were falling, and a tossing up of helpless arms, catching, clutching at empty air. But some went over quietly and fell without a sound.

Then I wondered with a wonder that was simple agony, why no one stopped them at the edge. I could not, I was glued to the ground. And I could not call; though I strained and tried, only a whisper would come.

Then I saw that along the edge there were guards set at intervals. But the intervals were too great; there were wide, unguarded gaps between. And over these gaps the people fell in their blindness, quite unwarned; and the green grass seemed blood-red to me, and gulf yawned like the mouth of hell.

Then I saw, like a little picture of peace, a group of people under some trees with their backs turned towards the gulf. They were making daisy chains.

Sometimes when a piercing shriek cut the quiet air and reached them, it disturbed them and they thought it a rather vulgar noise. And if one of their number started up and wanted to go and do something to help, then all the others would pull that one down.

“Why should you get all excited about it? You must wait for a definite call to go! You haven’t finished your daisy chain yet. It would be really selfish,” they said, “to leave us to finish the work alone.”

There was another group. It was made up of people whose great desire was to get more guards out; but they found that very few wanted to go, and sometimes there were no guards set for miles and miles of the edge.

One girl stood alone in her place, waving the people back; but her mother and other relations called, and reminded her that her furlough was due; she must not break the rules. And being tired and needing a change, she had to go and rest for a while; but no one was sent to guard her gap, and over and over the people fell, like a waterfall of souls.

Once a child caught at a tuft of grass that grew at the very brink of the gulf; it clung convulsively, and it called — but nobody seemed to hear. Then the roots of the grass gave way, and with a cry the child went over, the two little hands still holding right to the torn-off bunch of grass. And the girl who longed to be back in her gap thought she heard the little one cry, and she sprang up and wanted to go; at which they reproved her, reminding her that no one is necessary anywhere; they gap would be well taken care of, they knew. And then they sang a hymn.

Then through the hymn came another sound like the pain of a million broken hearts wrung out in one full drop, one sob. And a horror of great darkness was upon me, for I knew what it was; the cry of the blood.

Then thundered a voice, the voice of the Lord. And he said, “What hast though done? The voice of thy brother’s blood crieth unto Me from the ground.”

The tom-toms still beat heavily, and darkness still shuddered and shivered about me. I heard the yells of the devil-dancers and weird, wild shrieks of the devil-possessed just outside the gate.

What does it matter, after all? It has gone on for years; it will go on for years.
Why make such a fuss about it?

— God forgive us! God arouse us!
Shame us out of our callousness! Shame us out of our sin!

(India: The Dohnavur Fellowship).
Obtained from an article from Bethany Fellowship, Inc.
Minneapolis, MN.

Amy Carmichael (1967-1951) was born in Northern Ireland to a wealthy family. When she was eighteen, her father died, and as the eldest of seven children, Amy received much of the family responsibility.

Within twelve years, Miss Carmichael had 130 children in her care and had rescued many hundreds more. For fifty-five years, she sacrificially lived and ministered in India…without even a furlough. Many others were inspired to join with her, and together with these co-workers, she established an Indian mission work called “The Dohnaver Fellowship,”

Amy Carmichael is best remembered for her life work of saving precious Indian children (especially rescuing many young girls from Hindu temple prostitution). Even today, through her books and writings, the impact of her life and testimony continues to challenge many to a deeper walk with the Lord, and a deeper commitment to His service.

Ability vs. Availability

When people hear about my life they often respond in shock or awe. Then they laugh when I say I’m not a very adventurous person. (I’m really not). One person said to me, “Excuse me, but have you seen where you live?!”

I have lived in a foreign country for nearly 15 years. The beautiful desert country of Niger.

I’ve learned how to cook almost anything from scratch, tie a head tie on my head and appreciate lizards in my house. I can drive on rutted roads while dodging children & motorcycles, bicycles carrying refrigerators, loaded camels, donkeys & carts, goats, sheep, rusted out vans carrying cattle & people on top and a myriad of other things that may or may not be appropriate on a road together with motorized vehicles.

I speak an African language and I’m able to withstand prolonged temperatures of 120+ degrees and live to tell about it. I’ve learned many of the cultural “do’s” and “don’ts” of this land.  I am comfortable with my children roaming a town or village and entering a stranger’s house by themselves because really no one is a stranger. I enjoy 3 hour long church services with intense sweat pouring off everyone (literally) and meeting under a tree for church is not uncommon. I frequently host large ministry teams in my home providing meals and clean, cold water (not a simple task when it’s 120 degrees!). I teach classes in our Bible School. With my family I’ve started and led children’s ministry, children’s camps and trained children’s workers. I’ve even directed the church choir and been the ‘keyboardist’. But most amazing of all…I have had the privilege of sharing the Gospel with people who have never heard the name of Jesus.

But… I’m not always confident. In fact often I’m not.

Not too long ago we were ministering in a village with a drama team. As we walked around inviting people to come, we arrived at the village well.

I began speaking with the ladies that were drawing water. One lady in particular seemed quite interested in talking with me. I began telling her the story of the woman at the well.

This is the woman I was talking with.  Isn’t she lovely?

I got to the ‘punch-line’ and asked if she was interested in receiving this living water. But instead of leading her in a prayer of salvation, I began to feel very intimidated by my lack of Hausa language skills.  She was very gracious and didn’t appear to be bothered at all by my many mistakes. At that point however I decided that it would be better if she went to the church. Surely the prayer of salvation would be more effective if it was prayed grammatically correct by a true Hausa speaker! We have a church in the village and I asked if she knew the pastor and his wife. She said she did and that she would go and find him. Then I invited her to the drama production that would soon begin in the center of the village. She agreed to come.

By this time everyone had already moved to the village center so I quickly went to join them. When I got there I was kicking myself – almost literally. What was I thinking? What I thought was my lack of ability was in fact pride that had prevented me from ‘closing the deal’. I didn’t want to look/sound stupid (I have always felt very incompetent praying in Hausa). I looked around for my new friend, hoping that she had in fact come. Nope. Repenting, I turned around and went back to the well to see if I could find her.  Not there either. She had finished drawing her water and had returned to her home.

At that point, all I could do was pray that the Holy Spirit would minister to her and she would in fact go to the church. I told the pastor and his wife about her and asked them to pray and expect her to come as well.

Though I can’t report that she did go and see the pastor, I learned something. My lack of confidence and feeling unable to do something is often a pride issue. I don’t want to look bad in front of others. So I refuse to do what I know I should do.

Often we think that pride is when we boast of all the things we can do.  But when we recognize that anything we accomplish is because of the Lord working in our lives, it’s not pride at all. It’s simply obeying Him at His Word. It’s not extraordinary. It’s simply being available.  And look at what He says to us.

And he said to me, My grace is sufficient for you, for my strength is made perfect in weakness. Therefore most gladly I will rather boast in my infirmities, that the power of Christ may rest upon me.  2 Corinthians 12:9

Wow!  We give him our weaknesses and he turns them into strength. We make ourselves available and He gives us His ability. His power! Isn’t that so like God? I love how unconventional He is sometimes.

Here’s me being very unconventional and using my abilities – or lack thereof – to help this lady get her water.  It’s hard work!  I wasn’t much help but I did provide some comic relief.

Where the world looks for the best or the greatest or the prettiest or the  most educated, God is simply looking for willing hearts.  Hearts that say ‘yes’ when He calls.  And you can be sure He is calling.

Young people making themselves available…

People often say to me that they could never do what I do or live where I live.  “How can you raise your children in such an undeveloped place?”  (We feel extremely blessed to have raised our kids here, but I’ll save that for another post).  The fact that I live on the mission field in a very undeveloped country does not make me super human or extra-special like some try to tell me.  I’m only doing what God called me to do where He called me to do it.  Truth be told, there are days when I wonder if I’ve accomplished anything.  And there are days that I mess up (the woman at the well for example).  But then I have to repent and remind myself –  it isn’t about what I can do in my strength.  It’s about what God can do through me with his strength – when I make myself available.

God has definitely called you.
He has a mission for your life.
He wants to use you.
But first you must surrender your inabilities and your abilities to Him. Then His strength will be made perfect in you. After that, there are no limits to what He can do through you to advance His Kingdom.

Are you available?

Introducing Melissa: A Daring Daughter and Her Family!
Mark and Melissa are from Everett, Washington. They both grew up in godly homes and developed a heart for missions at an early age. Mark has been leading short term missions trips from his church for years and has two brothers on the mission field, both of whom he has served alongside in short term ministry. Melissa spent 4 years in the Ivory Coast teaching missionary kids from 1989-1993.The two met at Edgewood Baptist Church and were married in 1995. They have prayed through the years for a chance to serve the Lord in missions and are grateful that God is now calling them overseas.


Melissa’s Family (pictures for their new mission prayer card)

In August of 2012, they visited the Philippines on a short-term missions trip and fell in love with the country and the people. Both felt God telling them that the time was finally right. They visited Faith Academy and knew immediately that they would love to work with missionary kids there. Mark will be assisting with woodshop, coaching soccer, and helping with student outreach ministry teams and Melissa will be teaching elementary school. Mark will also be sharing God’s love to the hurting; like the many street kids in Manila, those caught up in human trafficking, and those in the grip of poverty. They hope to be at Faith by the beginning of the 2014 school year.

Written by Hannah Schweighardt

Hi. I’m Hannah, 14 almost 15. I love to sing and I’m passionate about Jesus and His love.

Growing up in a family of 15 siblings, with 8 of them being from Africa, I’ve always had a love for that part of the world.

sonya-family

This past year has been hard for me. I’ve been trying to discover who I am and my purpose. I guess all teenagers go through that at one point in their lives. Looking for God, searching for answers and trying to find balance in life. On my search for answers and “happiness”, I’ve discovered that you can’t find either in anything this world has to offer. True Joy is only found when you surrender your life to Christ and His will.

Going to Uganda wasn’t really planned…it just happened.
I believe God is calling me there.

hannah-2

People always ask where the inspiration for my songs come from.
It’s a pretty simple answer…God.

He shows me things in my own life through others and through scripture that inspire my song writing. God is so good and He continues to reveal new things to me as I walk through life. One of the most important things He’s been teaching me is love. God’s love is perfect and unchanging. He never gives up on us.

In 1 John 3:16, He gives us the very definition of love…His Son.

By this we know love, because He laid down His life for us.
And we also ought to lay down our lives for the brethren.
–I John 3:16

As I’ve been reading through 1 John, there is a part about love and how we should love with action, not just words. That’s what I’m trying to do through my music and this mission’s trip. Its a trip about love, but no earthly love that I could offer…but God’s perfect unfailing and unchanging love.

Our friend, Nancie-Joy had a creative idea to memorize ALL of Psalm 119 to raise mission funds for an ministry outreach to help orphans in Ethiopia. She also designed a creative “mission-board” to help share the vision for her mission trip, one-on-one with friends.

Thanks for your example, Nancie-Joy! What inspiring ideas!

Kathy from El Salvador talks about ‘Kisses from Katie’ (mp3)

Missionary Kathy Knepper with her husband Pastor David and their children: Eddie, Katie, Trinity, and Rachel

More on Daring Daughters about Kisses from Katie

Thoughts about ‘Kisses from Katie’
from Missionary Kathy Knepper:

“This whole book is written in such a transparent and heartfelt way that it’s hard to pick a favorite part.

The first time I read it, I know that the part that spoke to me the most was the chapter, “Counting the Cost” because it touched on a situation that I was going through at the moment.

But I can say that what I love about this book is the spirit of courage that poured forth from such a young woman, not because she was brave, or had it all together, or was financially stable and had a 5-year-plan, but simply because she chose to be obedient to her God and Savior, KNOWING that He is able to complete that which He sent her to do.

The moments of self-giving, sacrifice, and pain are poignantly portrayed here without reservations, yet even as he speaks of those times of pain, sorrow, frustration, and suffering, there written down is also her willingness to bear these with joy because it’s His hand that sustains her. Awesome encouragement. Love it.” — Kathy
