Today I was reminded of a painting by an artist named Katherine Brown. The painting is called Jesus and the Lamb. Out of respect for the artist and her copyright, I will not show the image here, but you could always google it.
I first saw a copy of the painting in my friend's house in Cameroon. One day she told me that a Baka boy named Samba asked her who the man in the picture was. She said that it broke her heart, because she did not yet know enough Baka language to be able to introduce him to Jesus. Every time I see that painting, I think of Samba and his family and friends who can only hear about Jesus if someone knows enough Baka to tell them.
Now, only a few short years later, Samba has heard about Jesus and is even teaching others! He has become a preacher and a leader in his community. Praise God for planting curiosity in a young man's mind and for preparing him uniquely to be a vessel of His Word.
