Post Date Year 2: Pastor Imani

Boy was I wrong to think that our new visitors were demonic omens of the end. Two years later they have done more good for us then harm. I cannot explain what they are. In fact, they challenge every single fiber of my faith, but our lord would not create creatures that meant harm. We are all glorious creatures of God. He would not allow this encounter to happen without his will right? 

They are fascinated by our Gospel. They admire that Jesus our lord sacrificed himself to save us. Their is something a bit awkward. They keep thinking that Jesus sacrificed himself to his God, to gain favor with him.  We had the great pleasure of having one of their envoys visit our congregation. At-Ila was his name. He was so surprised by our faith. he had so much adulation and curiosity toward the Gospel. I pray that we can introduce them to the faith and allow them to find true salvation. There was one thing though.

He was a little defensive when we asked him about his beliefs. He told us that in his culture a person that has not crossed the threshold of Az'May cannot speak on behalf of the Elder Keepers of the Light.  I guess that only their pastors can actually speak of their religion. 

Despite some of the culture shock, I am sure that God is watching both our species in this amazing time. And his will will be done.
