How a Word From the Lord Launched a Global Gospel Movement

What God tells us doesn’t always make sense. But as we listen and obey, He can use us to change the world.

Marvin Slaton received just such a word back in 2005, the director of Modern Day Missions tells host Dr. Steve Greene on a recent episode of the Greenelines podcast on the charisma Podcast Network.

“I was in China on a short-term trip in 2005, and I was on a bus with a number of missionaries who were traveling to a rural village,” he says. “And I was just praying and journaling as we were traveling to this village when we were going to be sharing the gospel. And I felt the Lord speak to me the words ‘Modern Day.’ … And so I wrote it down. But it didn’t make sense. It seemed out of left field.

“And then right after that, I felt the Lord speak to me, ‘Marvin, “modern day”; you’re supposed to marry the archaic world of missions to the modern-day world of technology.’

“I’m just on this bus out in the middle of nowhere, China, going to share the gospel, and God’s downloading this—and I have no idea what it means,” Slaton says. “No idea, but I write it down. And I get back from the trip. And I have a couple of my best friends who I just submitted it to. … And we just began to pray.

“There was something there; there was a spark; it was just a word of the Lord; I began to pray … what was this about?”
