Arthur. and then I found Jesus

Arthur’s family is Christian but when Arthur was in the Buddhist temple he learned the ways of the Buddhists and served in the temple with the others and he drifted away from his Christian faith.  While Arthur was attending the University he met the man that translated the bible into the AKHA language.  This changed his life and it was during this time that Arthur found God and committed the rest of his life to serving Jesus and helping the AKHA people.    Arthur had many questions for God as to why he allowed him to be at the Buddhists temple for so many years.  Shortly after college Arthur left Thailand and went to serve for two years in China.  It was during this time that God answered his question.  Daily Arthur used the things he had learned at the temple to talk to those in China about how Christianity was different from Buddhism.  If Arthur had not been at the temple he never would have had the knowledge or the in road to speak into the lives of the people he came into contact with.  Nor would he have been able to share the gospel with them as affectively.   

What things have happened in your life that you struggle to understand why God allowed them to happen?  In what ways might God use your experiences to help others?
